The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog

5 of 5 stars I love Dave Barry - I've always been a fan and I think it's because, among other things, he is a dog person. I've wanted to read this book for a while and finally pulled the trigger and just scheduled it for book club. I didn't realize it was a short story and read it in bed on a snowy Saturday morning. Perfect way to help get into the Christmas spirit. Having just lost our sweet Pujolina 2 weeks ago, this book hit very close to home. And I love that he was able to reinforce that my sweet furry friend is with Jesus while making me laugh at the same time. But in addition to the dog story, the antics of the boys in the church was a fun reminder of how my sister and I would torture our mother at midnight Christmas Eve services with our goofiness. And we were far older than Doug. Definitely put the fun in this year's Christmas. This was the December selection for our own Books And Brunch https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/113012.The_Shepherd_the_Angel_and_Walter_the_Christmas_Miracle_Dog
