The Dog Who Dared to Dream - Sun-mi Hwang, Chi-Young Kim (Translator)
This is what life is, you know. You say goodbye, they die, and life goes on. I know how it goes. I’ve never known a dog who lived with all her pups.
Seeing the world from the outlook of a dog is an eye-opener and intriguing!
This is the story of a dog named Scraggly. Born an outsider because of her distinctive appearance, she spends most of her days in the sun-filled yard of her owner's house. Scraggly has dreams and aspirations, just like the rest of us. But each winter, dark clouds descend, and Scraggly is faced with challenges that she must overcome. Through the clouds and even beyond the gates of her owner's yard lies the possibility of friendship, motherhood, and happiness — they are for the taking if Scraggly can just hold on to them, bring them home, and build the life she so desperately desires.
"The Dog Who Dared to Dream" is a wise tale of the relationship between dog and man and a celebration of a life lived with courage. However, I will give one warning about the book: there are moments of brutality that will make you flinch and possibly very angry. It's harsh and painful, and not everybody involved comes away unscathed – but isn't that life?
