Cold Train Coming

This is a wonderful book but rather sad! I had seen the movie, under a different name.

This is one of the best books I have read in a long time. A very gentle story that just asks to be read to kids at bedtime. (In fact I'm ordering a second copy for my nieces and nephews.) It will make you laugh out loud and bring a tear to your eye in the same page. Last I knew there was still a monument to Shep in Fort Benton - still standing vigil awaiting his master to return. You will not regret buying this book!

After I finished reading "Cold Train Coming," I gave my dog a biscuit and a big hug! I loved this book. I especially liked the part about Ben's "mouth-to-beak" resuscitation of a chicken (but I'm not going to try it). I still find myself laughing about that scene. Overall, it made me think more seriously about the important relationships in my life. It's a great book on loyalty and faithfulness. Tonight, I am going to go out, point myself toward the North Star and rethink life.
