Just a Dog

Mr. Mosely is just a dog – a large, clumsy, loving, loyal dog who only kind of knows one trick.  Yet this special dog is just what Corey’s family needs.  Mr. Mosely’s story is told in short, journal-like chapters by Corey.  Part Great Dane and part Dalmatian, Mr. Mosely is mostly white with a large heart-shaped group of spots on his chest, a small tear-shaped spot near his eye, and part of one ear.  Although the focus is Mr. Mosely, details of Corey’s family relationships and turmoil are revealed.  The tone is funny, sad, ridiculous, tender and does not shy away from the rewards and risks of loving, whether pets or family members.  This is an honest telling of life with a beloved pet for anyone.  A great read!
