GIV - THE STORY OF A DOG AND AMERICA

I love to discover a special book. And GIV - THE STORY OF A DOG AND AMERICA is a touching book. There is an exhileration in being captured by the light of it's story and emotions. And what I love as much, is after, when I get to share the book with others. To read what someone else feels, to hear what they think, to be engaged by their world view. To be enlightened in an exchange of experiences creates in me a wonderful sense of community. ..

This is what books do so well. They can become the vessel through which we get to talk to eachother, to learn about eachother, to understand eachother. It is an oh-so human way to make freinds, and be the richer for it.

emotional!

"Giv: The Story of a Dog and America" by Boston Teran is just that; a story about a dog. And what a heartfelt story it is. From the time Giv is born he something special, but the tale does not begin there. It begins with Dean Hickok ex-sergeant who has returned from Iraq and is contemplating suicide when he almost runs over the starved and suffering animal that was Giv. From there we learn that Giv was stolen from his original owner and survived Hurricane Katrina. We learn of the people who come in contact with him and how everything comes full circle. This is certainly a story that brings out all sorts of emotion.

GIV is on my book shelf of read-again books!

A most unique, beautifully written and enriching book, it is to literature what the great murals are to painting and art. For that is what Giv is - an American mural. Murals have sweep and theme. They are a vision of life. A testament to ideas. This is Giv.
