Whenever a dog lost his way or found himself without shelter, he would follow me home from school or from the park. It didn't seem polite to refuse a lost animal a meal and a warm place to sleep for the night. \u003cp\u003e But one night usually turned into two, and sometimes three. Just as we were beginning to be friends, just as I was growing accustomed to being greeted at the steps when I returned from school, with the wag of a tail, someone in the apartment would complain. Someone would tell the landlord. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The story was always the same. I would return home from school and my companion, my delightful pal would be gone. But I kept bringing strays home. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e A lonely day was never quite as empty with a dog's nose nuzzling against my knee, begging for attention. \"Some day I'm going to have as many animals as I want,\" I promised myself. Years later, when that some day arrived, I did. And now I would like to bring them into your life, as they came into mine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Harriet May Savitz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595502512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595502516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/04\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harriet May Savitz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443576746239,"sku":"9780595502516","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_435d46d5-1cb1-4744-a438-1362de7c8ae3.jpg?v=1777206377","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gifts-animals-can-give-harriet-may-savitz-9780595502516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
