They Cage the Animals at Night
-Jennings Michael Burch

It's so nice when you finally come upon a book that really tugs at your heart strings. The only things I didn't like about the book is that he seemed a bit old to be talking to his stuffed animal dog, but I guess if he did, he did. The other part I didn't get is the excuse Sal gave him for not picking him up from one of the homes, "he wasn't ready to commit.." but other than that the story is a true page-turner, and brimming with tons of sappy moments. I really loved this one.
Great job, Burch. RIP
