"Within what I hope will become this dog-eared work" says Stephen
Poxon, "365 shaggy dog stories are homed with verses of Scripture
to encourage, inform and possibly even amuse. Use them as a dog
might treat a puddle - to gaze upon with curiosity, to dip into, or
to have a jolly good splash around. It might be that a line from a
reflection will lead you towards a deeper concept. It might be that
a thought provides a timely contemplation for the day, relevant to
your circumstances and concerns. A year's worth of delightful
reflections on dogs known and loved, each leading into a
consideration of some aspect of God's character. "It is my prayer,
as a dog devotee who tries to follow God, that these readings bring
reminders of His love. As the seasons change and experiences vary
between good, bad, and indifferent, may our relationship with a
loving Heavenly Father remain a rewarding constant."
