CANDY THE RESCUE DOG (Review)

Candy the Resucue Dog by Deborah Anne Wills. What’s not to love about this little rescue rascal? 

Many of us have learned the art of prayer after driving someone’s ‘preloved’ lemon off a used car sales lot. However, though this is not a book about cars, the main differences between a used car and a rescue dog are masterfully illustrated in this book. Unlike a dog, a car will not love you back unconditionally. Herein, through the love/hate relationship the author has with Candy, by an artful and educational use of analogy, we learn about the, not always reciprocal, bond God has with His children.

This rescue dog was a Houdinic escapologist who needed, (like every Christian in their walk with the Lord), rescuing repeatedly! Oh, and did I mention that Candy delighted in sharing her anxiety with others? Angst and humour are this book’s sweet and sour sauce flavouring. Dog-lovers will enjoy reading this book, especially with pooch at their feet.
