"I loved that the book wasn't too factual and crowded with facts and names. Simple, heart-warming incidents are described over the course of a few pages.

And what shall I say about the illustrations! They are mind-blowing. Every page is professionally designed with a profound artistic touch." -Book And Brook

Stephen Foster wrote "Old Dog Tray" for his friend Matthew Stewart's dog while at his house but, even before writing the song, Stephen had a dog growing up who liked to chase cows. His daughter, Marion, also had dogs, the messy dog Rat-trap and the Scottie dog Blackie, whom Stephen and Marion liked to walk to the park. Perfect for fans of music and animals.
