Review # 1 was written on 2008-08-18 00:00:00 Brian Pritchett My Name is Henley teaches empathy, compassion, and respect for all living things. The book begins by showing how cruel an animal's life can be and goes on to model exemplary relationships between and among humans and animals. Along the way it portrays cats and dogs as they are. At several points during the story I laughed out loud at pet behavior that mirrored the behavior of my own two adopted and much loved cats and other pets I have known and loved throughout my life. What new cat owner hasn't had their cat try to climb the Christmas tree? What dog owner isn't immediately greeted by their pet when they enter the house or hasn't had their dog scramble for a car ride? This book is great becaust it is easily accessible to young readers who are both very interested in animal stories and most capable of absorbing the books message of compassion. My Name is Henley is a real, relatable, well-written story of the love animals bring to life that asks us to be worthy of that love.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-10-22 00:00:00 Patrick McRae This is a children's book about Henley, a rescued Old English Sheepdog. I'm not an animal fan, but this was a cute book and I'm glad Henley was saved.
