A Place to Call Home: Toby's Tale by G.A. Whitmore hits the mark with animal lovers. A wide range of ages (from 8 to 80) will love this emotional journey with these two pups as they search for a forever home. I highly recommend this book.
My grandson loved this book. He now has a forever home with me and I think that he could relate to Toby.
We learned about Toby’s fears, his friendships, and also his bloodline that caused him to be white. It is a beautifully written book.
Many thanks to Outskirts Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.
This is a heartwarming tale of dog rescue and adoption. I enjoyed reading about Toby's life. The story touches your heart and teaches lessons.
This is a sweet story about a dog's life. There are ups and downs in this books during this dog's life but the author did a great job telling the story. I really enjoyed it.
It was really sweet and I like how it gave you the view of a trouble who had a rough time in his life and his thoughts about what happened to him.
This is a heartwarming tale of dog rescue/adoption. I enjoyed reading about Toby's life. Sadly, this tale plays out too many times every day, but without a happy ending.
A heartwarming and engaging tale told from different points of view, even a dog's! The story touches your heart and teaches lessons. A must-read if you are an animal lover!
A place to call home Toby's tale
Just a wonderful story about animals.
Toby goes through so much in his short life. Abandonment, bring separated from his mother, death of his sister, guilt that he couldn't save her. Then he is abused by someone who should have protected him. But finally Toby finds his special home.
The book Is filled with sadness and prejudice but it also shows there are a great number of people who truly love animals and will do their best for them.
I loved in the story that the animals can talk to each other. When my dogs were puppies George used to scratch on the kitchen door to let me know that Gracie needed the bathroom. I was constantly amazed how he knew.
Heart breaking and wonderful a the same time. I rescue cats. I have friends and family who rescue dogs and cats. We take in strays and do what we can to help out animal friends. It angers me how badly some humans treat our furry and feathered friends. This book was worth a read. Middle school up. Not for real young kids.
