Today I am reviewing "Woodrow On The Bench" written by Jenna Blum. First of all, let me say that this is a very well written book. The author has written a number of popular novels, and this book has a nice flow to it.
Woodrow is a Labrador retriever that the author has had as a friend for many years. As happens to all of our dog friends, Woodrow got old and began to develop a number of health problems. Each day, the author and Woodrow would travel from the apartment to a bench across the street. On some days, that is as far as Woodrow could go. The pair would sit out there and they would encounter a number of different people. A community of Woodrow's friends developed, and they were touched by the old dog who was enjoying his life for as long as possible.
What struck me most about this story is the great care that the author gave to Woodrow. She worked hard to met his health needs even when it became very difficult. Many people wouldn't have done what she did, but you can tell that she really loved Woodrow and did all that she could to give him a great life.
I recommend this book to everyone who has loved an old dog and been touched by their spirit and their kindness. This book relates how many people can be brought together by a great dog.
