Read the Introduction to “A Dog Named Salvation”

This book is about a special dog named Sal who came to my family on my seventh birthday. Salvation was a beautiful King Charles Cocker Spaniel who turned out to be the best member of our family. And she taught us many lessons that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

For example, Sal taught us that we all must stick together and care for each other. Wherever we were, Sal wanted to be with us. We took her on about a dozen long-distance road trips and she was always a great companion. There is a reason why so many people have called dogs “man’s best friend.”

Sal taught us to practice patience. She was a very patient dog and endured the ups-and-downs of family life like a pro. She never complained or whined even when she was hungry or sick. She always had a brave and uplifting spirit.

Sal was also a very joyful dog who brought joy to our family. Every pet-lover knows that there is nothing better than the feeling of your furry family member resting in your arms or sitting by you watching you with curious eyes as you work or rushing to sniff your feet and say hello when you get home. Sal brought much joy to our lives and is a reminder that we should live to bring joy to others as well.

This book tells Sal’s story and explores the many lessons she taught my family. It also contains helpful advice for those dealing with the loss of a dog and resources for those dealing with a dog who is ill.

Most importantly, we hope that you will meet the One who created our dog named Salvation by trusting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior so that you can experience true salvation.
