Today, I am going to review a book and a movie. The book that I am reviewing today is called "Medieval Pets" written by Kathleen Walker-Meikle. This was an interesting book that provided a lot of information about how dogs, cats and other animals were kept as pets in the Middle Ages. The book details how pets were depicted in the art and literature of the time. The author also details what type of people would have owned certain types of pets. I recommend this book as it is well written and well researched.
The movie that I would like to recommended is "A Dog's Way Home". This movie was based on a book written by W, Bruce Cameron. When the movie begins, we find a mother dog and cat along with their puppies and kittens living under an abandoned building. Animal control comes and takes most of the dogs except for one. This little dog is fostered by the cat mother.
Later, a young man named Lucas and his girlfriend will find the little dog and name her Bella. Bella and Lucas become great friends. Bella touches the lives of everyone that she meets including Lucas' mother and the people at the VA hospital where Lucas works.
Sadly, someone always has to cause trouble. Bella is identified as a pit bull, and they aren't allowed in Denver. Bella is taken to animal control. Lucas gets Bella out, but she has to leave the city until Lucas and his mother can find a new place to live outside of Denver. Bella is taken hundreds of miles away.
Bella knows one thing, she wants to go home and be with Lucas. She leaves her foster home and begins the trek to find the family that she loves. On her journey she will encounter a cougar, two men who give her a temporary home and a homeless man who needs her.
I won't give any more of the film away. This is film any dog or animal lover will enjoy. I recommend this film. It's the best dog movie I've seen since "Red Dog."
