{"product_id":"the-friskative-dog","title":"The Friskative Dog","description":"Sharron was five when her father gave her the Friskative Dog. And just like the best-loved toys from The Velveteen Rabbit, Sharron has made the Friskative Dog real through her love and devotion.\n\nNow Sharron is nine, and her father is missing, and the Friskative Dog is more necessary to her than ever. Her father walked out about a year ago and has been lost to her ever since. If he were a dog, he'd be able to find his way home, Sharron thinks. But people don't have the same homing instincts as dogs. And you can't train them to be true.\n\nThe Friskative Dog is about a young girl coming to accept that families can take all different shapes and sizes, and learning to live with hope and patience.\n\nSusan Straight has written a spare, delicate story, rich in metaphor and meaning, and full of love.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375837779\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0375837779.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Straight, Susan\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Former library book with the usual stamps, stickers and labels.
