Bruiser’s Grandmother sent him an adorable children’s book in the mail today. The book is called Jack & Jill: The Miracle Dog With a Happy Tail to Tell by Jill Rappaport. Guess what? It’s about a tripawd!! Here is a summary:
This is the true story of an abandoned puppy that was rescued by NBC’s Today show correspondent Jill Rappaport. Jill named him Jack, and together they lived on a farm. Life with Jill was grand, all right! Jack spent his days running through fields, digging holes, playing with the horses, and chasing deer. But one day Jack’s leg started to hurt. When Jill took him to the vet, she received bad news. Jack had bone cancer. In order to beat the disease, Jack’s hurt leg had to be removed. Would life with only three legs be as grand as it was before?
Though the recommended age range is 4-8, I think any tripawd parent (and tripawds themselves) will enjoy it. Happy Reading!
Thanks for sharing! You should consider writing a review for the Tripawds Amazon blog, where Jerry wrote about other great three legged dog books for kids.
Thanks for the head’s up! I’m going to see if I can find that book for my niece and nephew!
That just sounds wonderful. We will have to look at that for Christmas I think.
