e AUGUST hardcover
a deeply affecting tale of
love, loss, and remembrance —
told in clear-eyed prose
by a top journalist and
illustrated by a renowned
american painter.
Sammy, the best hound dog in the whole wide world, loves his girl and
she loves him. When illness cuts Sammy’s life short, the girl’s family
keeps his spirit alive by celebrating his love of chasing wind-blown
bubbles, keeping loyal guard at night, and offering his velvety fur for
endless pats and tummy scratches. Painter Jamie Wyeth’s illustrations —
infused with his realist style and lifelong fondness for dogs — radiate
the joy and sadness of every tongue-licking, tail-wagging moment in
this heartening and lovingly rendered story written by Pulitzer Prize–
winning journalist Barbara Walsh.
