Mary's family was taken from her in a tragic accident. Now she buries herself in her work at home, trying not to delve into the painful memories. But, she is drawn to the idea getting a dog and selects a puppy. Or, did he select her? Rufus seems very intelligent, patient, and quick to learn. But, can he talk to God? Mary needs someone to talk to who won't react or judge, someone to be a sounding board. Rufus fits the bill. Opening this book will give you the opportunity to understand Mary's story and why Rufus seems to know the answers to her questions and dilemmas. Will Mary continue to blame God for the loss of her family or will healing come?
I loved this book. Rufus is a wonderfully smart dog, who is a great listener. This book will make a wonderful gift for animal lovers, and for those who have suffered loss. God can use anything or anyone to provide what we need. We just need to be open and willing to listen. I am happily part of the Litfuse blog tour!
