"The Forever Dog" by Bill Cochran

The Forever Dog by Bill Cochran is an illustrated children's story about friendship between a boy and his dog, Corky. Mike makes up a plan with Corky to be friends forever, a wonderful plan!  But one day, the plan ends, or so Mike thinks.  For your first book, Mr. Cochran, you did real well.  Best of success in your future books.  I liked it.

I thought this book was too sad for kids to enjoy, unless you get it for your child who lost a dog to help them cope with losing their pet.  The idea, of course, is that our pets will forever be in our hearts with us no matter what.  Still, I did not care for this one.
