This was recommended by my daughter Laura, who got it from her teacher, Miss Seivel. It's a dog-and-girl story told in blank verse shaped as diamonds, each one containing a "hidden message" inside. Nicely done. Very very sad, but it ends well. I liked it very much.
Quotes:
I pack snow into the dog pot. Dad gets a good fire going
in the oil-drum stove. He loves these dogs like I do. We're
both out here on weekends, as much as we can be, and every
day before and after school. He loves Roxy most. Willow, go
get the pliers, he say, showing me a quill in Roxy's foot
