I’d like to read Ru, having read about and met people who came over by boat after the war.

I have read some great dog books this year…and I love anything by Anna Quindlen so this is one I’m going to check out.

As for Ru, I personally experienced what it was like for the boat people from the side of those who “receive” the immigrants into their community. I worked for an agency that tried to help them assimilate…and heard their stories and their desperation.

Thanks for sharing….and here’s MY SUNDAY SALON POST

In reply to bermudaonion (Kathy). Yeah I sort of teared up reading it. So hard when a dog passes away

Good Dog. Stay. sounds wonderful to me. I’m sure I’d sob as I read it though, since we lost our dog of almost 17 years recently.
