HELPING TEACHERS INSPIRE COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS, PEOPLE & THE ENVIRONMENT
A stray pit bull and a boy whose father is a violent alcoholic both have much to fear and when they try to find comfort from one another they find more obstacles to overcome. Tackling issues such as the turmoil of dysfunctional families, the sinister underworld of dog fighting, and the despair of terminal illness, this hard-hitting book is a page turner that lends itself to serious discussion.
The Alberta SPCA respects the deep foundational connection Indigenous Peoples have had to animals and this land, now known as Alberta, for thousands of years. We are grateful to continue to work towards the humane treatment of all animals in all areas of the province on the traditional territories encompassed by Treaties 6, 7, 8, 4, & 10 and the Métis Homeland.
We are inspired by how many Indigenous Peoples recognize that animals, people and the environment are interconnected and respecting these relationships is fundamental to the well-being of all living things and the earth that we share. As treaty people, we also strive to listen, respect, care for, and live in harmony with one another, animals and the natural world.
