Description

Savy is worried. Her dog, Snort, is very sick, and Savy’s parents say that Snort needs to leave them and go to heaven. But who will play with Snort if she leaves Savy and her family? And what will Savy do without her best friend? In Snort’s Special Gift, Savy and her family explore different ways to grieve for and remember a beloved pet. This healing story addresses feelings of loss in gentle and supportive ways as the family shares happy memories and creates a beautiful celebration of Snort’s life. And in the end, Savy discovers that Snort has more special gifts to share with her . . .

The relationship between a person (whether adult or child) and their pet can be one of the most rich and meaningful experiences in that person’s life. The unconditional love and loyalty of a pet is a unique and frequently elusive trait. I had the good fortune to witness this in the author’s life.
