DOGS FOR LIFE
With ‘Dogs for Life’, Arthur Japin writes a beautiful autobiographical story full of courage, life lessons and dog loyalty.
For the first time, Arthur Japin tells about the dog that raised him and two puppies that shape his outlook on life. Major themes such as love, hope, courage and friendship are discussed. Recognizable for large and small, comforting, gripping and accessible. A wonderful story about dog loyalty, adventure and cheerfulness, for everyone who loves life. The beautiful color illustrations by Martijn van der Linden bring Kellie, Trip and Basso to life and take you to a world of wags, mud feet and above all lots of love.
“You don’t need your mind for love.” Now this is typically something I learned from Trip. Trip was my second dog. When I say things like that, that it’s better to follow your heart than your head, you actually hear him talk.’ – Arthur Japin, Dogs for life
