The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog

The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog
by
Dave Barry

The story takes place in the year 1960, and is about a typical small town family.  It was written by Dave Barry, who is an award winning humorist.  Christmas is known to be a time of miracles, and for this family, this will be the most miraculous Christmas of all.

I had never read anything by Dave Barry, and he was recommended to me by a library patron, and so I decided to read this book.  This book did make me smile, and cry, and though a bit corny, it was an entertaining fast read for the Christmas season, only a little bit over 100 pages it can be read quickly.

You can find this book in the adult fiction section of the library.
