Ben and his dog Scrumpy always play together, and Scrumpy is the first one to greet Ben when he comes home from school. When Scrumpy dies, Ben must learn to cope with his feelings of loss.
It was so emotional and I've loved the book ever since I was younger. It made me realize that pets don't live forever, so spend every moment with them as if it was their last. "Be with them and treasure each moment, who knows how much time they have left until they die." This story had an impact on me and was very good. It was sad, but funny too, so it didn't make us hate the story or dislike the tragedy of the dog. Whoops spoiler there. For those ,who are reading this, I won't spoil it for you but you'll defintely love it! I know I did!
