Great New Book with an Anti-chaining Theme

Ghost Dog Secrets is written by one of our own members of LOHV, Peg Kehert. Peg is an award winning author, who has written many children’s books. This book is also intended for young readers, but I have to say I couldn’t put it down. This story takes on some very tough issues that children face such as bullying and the loss of a parent, but at its core it is the story of the rescue of a dog that is chained to a tree, abused and neglected. Peg does a great job of showing the cruelty of chaining. This is a very timely subject, since we will be working hard to pass an anti-tethering bill here in Washington in 2011. Ghost Dog Secrets is very well written and I would recommend it to everyone. It would also make a great gift for kids.
