A very sweet remembrance book for dog owners.

This is a very short book. The pictures are what really make it stand out in my mind. I read this as an eBook. It is absolutely going to be better in print. It starts with a page to put a picture of your own special fur baby and this can’t be accomplished in an eBook. I like the fact that it has a page covering each stage of a dog’s life. By the end of it I was in tears.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, through NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.

This is a tender story with beautifully realistic sketch illustrations. Be warned that the sadness is poignant, in the words as well as the images. Also note that the book's message is heavily religious.

The story is about the life of a dog from puppyhood to old age plus. It is written simply. You learn from day one, how the puppy loves to play, trusts the vet as long as his owner is there, showing old age at the end. The illustrations are perfect for the story. If one is a dog lover, you will love it. It is an emotional book. The book does goes to the end of his life. It made me want to cry.

Sit. Stay. Forever by Angela Hunt is a sweet book about the stages of a dog’s life and the relationship it has with it’s owners. I see this book as gift you can give to a dog owner. The pictures in the book added to the simplicity and sweetness of the book. I enjoyed this book. Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book. (This review is also on GoodReads.)

Short and sweet but joyful and heartbreaking at the same time. For all those dog owners who have lost their beloved friend, this will undoubtedly cause you to shed a tear. A nice gift for someone who has recently had to say goodbye to their dog, just knowing that you will meet them again someday makes the loss that little bit easier.

Short but nonetheless heartfelt and endearing. Highly recommended to anyone who has ever allowed a dog to cross that line from a pet into a companion and loved one they hold dear in their hearts.

I will not waste words, just like the author Angela Hunt. Beautifully written and illustrated book. Probably the smallest one I have ever read and it impacted me maybe the most. I devoured this book with my 14 year old dog on my lap, crying like a baby.
Thank you Hunt Haven Press for allowing me the privilege to read and review this treasure, I am so glad I did not miss this one.

Wasn't overly keen on this book, there wasn't much to keep me interested ,
it was however a true story of dog ownership and something we all need to remember .
I couldn't see any pictures as read on my kindle

Wonderfully illustrated short book about someone's love for her dog. Beginning at the very start as a puppy, then the first visit at the vets, fun times and a very sad goodbye which made me shed a tear. I've been through this process many times and it never gets any easier. I think this would be a brilliant book for children to have a better understanding of knowing when that time comes, its the kindest thing to do.

This is a story of owning a dog and the love and heartbreak that comes with it. It is a good book for a very young child. The drawings were beautiful. Overall a very sweet story.

A short but emotional tribute to the dogs we've loved and who have passed through our lives. It;s the conflict of all dog lovers that the length of our lives are so different we all need to figure out how to balance love of a pet with the loss of a pet..

My toddlers are asking for a puppy so this book came at the right time. We sat down and read this book together. The illustrations and words are easy to for them to understand. This became a learning tool, it showed them how to properly take care a puppy when you bring it home, the chores, and responsibilities too.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a gifted copy. This is my honest review.

Sit, Stay, Forever is a beautifully written book with wonderful illustrations. The perfect book for present or past dog owners. It would make a perfect gift. It’s a book you’ll want to pick up often. Thank You Net Galley, Angela Hunt and Hunt Haven Press for allowing me to read this book for an honest review.

This is a beautiful and sad book which will touch the heart of all animal lovers.
I received a free copy of the book from NetGalley. The opinions in this review are completely my own.

Even as I write this review of Angela Hunt's newest book, Sit. Stay. Forever. There is a catch in my throat, and the burning of tears making their way to my eyes. This sweet little book reminds the reader -- young and old, alike -- that God's creatures can make a difference in our life.

As I read, I thought of our daughter's dear Chihuahua, Paco. And, if you're a long-time dog owner, those memories will surface for you, I'm sure.

It's not about being sad, it's about honoring our stewardship of these sweet creatures given to us. To learn from their joy, unconditional love, and loyalty. Each day.

I highly recommend this book.

I was given an electronic version of this book by the author for an honest review. However, I recently purchase two hardback copies as gifts. It's a beautifully produced book that will surely be cherished for years to come.

A very sentimental and loving tribute to the special bond between a dog and his or her person. This is a very, very, very short read accompanied by lovely drawings depicting the life of a golden retriever. My third Golden just passed in March of this year, so there was a tug at my heart. There isn't much to say because this book is so sparse, but the thought is nice.

Illustrations lead the way to this short but poignant story that all dog/ animal parents will instantly relate to.
Simplicity but so heartfelt.
A bitter sweet joy to read as a dog parent, knowing the time will eventually come.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this book in exchange for an honest review.
Wow, this short little book packs a big pull on the heartstrings. As a huge dog lover and owner of 2 dogs who are getting into the later years of life, I can relate to this book and dread the days when we have to make that dreaded decision of when to make that final call to the vet. Dogs are the best and I can't imagine life without them.

As I was reading this book, I had my 18 year old yorkie laying beside me. The last few days his breathing has been more labored and he's eating less. We know the time is coming soon for our sweet "pup" to cross over the rainbow to play with his brother, who passed away at 15 years old. This book had me teary eyed as I once again am preparing myself for the inevitable. This short, sweet book made me look back throughout the years, hoping my family gave my pups the most happiest, fulfilling life. This book reminds us dog owners that they depend on us not only for survival, but for comfort and joy. A wonderful book that I will treasure and would recommend to all dog owners.

Thank you Netgalley and Hunt Haven Press / IBPA for the opportunity to read this book. And thank you Ms. Hunt for writing simple words that have a powerful effect that stays with us forever until we see our pups again.

Hey folks, daddy Steve here with some doggiebook talk. I’m still behind on my reviewing/reporting but hey, here goes one sweet little book for you. Sit. Stay. Forever. That is the title of this tiny book by Angela Hunt. I say tiny because it’s like 19 or 20 pages, half of them being sweet illustrations.

Don’t let the size of it distract you from how sweet this book is though. I’ve included a sample of illustration and text that comes from its amazon page. The book covers the life of a dog from puppyhood to old dog days, with all the sweet moments you would expect. The power of the message is way more on how you will relate to it with your own experience with dogs. I’d say it’s close to a perfect Christmas gift for a dog lover.

Again, it’s not a novel or anything, it’s more like you feel the silence between the illustrations with your own mental imagery...

Huge thanks to NetGalley who provided a free eBook advanced reader’s copy in exchange for my honest review. This is as honest as it gets...
