This is the story of a little dog who made a big difference in her owner's life, just when he needed it the most.


Isn't the cover just adorable? Bijou is a twelve year old miniature poodle. I just want to pick him up and cuddle him!!


Dana Jennings is fighting prostate cancer and has liver failure. Both are very sick, but with Bijou, they learn to heal and live life again. They watch Bijou enjoying just the little things and it inspires them. Peppered through out the book is some "zen" of Bijou : Play, even when you're sick. Nap in the sun whenever Possible (I want to do that one!), or Never pass up the chance to pounce on a sock.


This little book is inspiring and those that are ill, or dog and pet owners will really enjoy this one. It would be perfect for gift giving this holiday season.
