Based on a true story, Percy is a touching and emotional novel as told by Percy, a German Shepherd mix living in an animal shelter for over two years. More than a simple dog story, this heartwarming tale is intended as an allegory of a spiritual journey. From Percy’s idyllic beginnings in a loving family, to the years spent waiting in a shelter nestled in the mountains of Southern California, she lived in the kennel for such a long period because of the shelter’s no-euthanize policy. Percy’s experiences are very real, and she has a pure and honest way of answering the challenges in life that young readers will respond to. Percy’s story is a profound account of the cycles of life relevant to us all. Her experiences are very real and she has a pure and honest way of responding to the challenges she faces.
