Dogs Don't Look Both Ways: A Primer on Unintended Consequences

A heartwarming book, now a 2015 B.R.A.G. MEDALLION HONOREE for Literary Fiction. Author Jane Hanser presents a coming-of-age story about a dog and his family that is filled with adventure, and regales us with endearing story-telling that keeps us enthralled.

"Joey Hanser is a very handsome Labrador Retriever who has endless amounts of energy and curiosity. His need to explore outside his boundaries offered him opportunities to meet new friends (and get treats!), but it also led to a horrible accident...an accident that could have had a sad ending. But with Joey's determination and the love and support of his parents, (he) learns that maybe, just maybe, some of those rules are important and if the rules are broken, then there are consequences." The Avid Book Collector

"When reading a book about animals there is always that slight apprehension that 'This is not going to end well!' As a dog and cat lover I have read books in the past and have had to buy in boxes of tissues and chocolate to get to the end.. I am delighted to say that those extreme measures are not required for this book.. All the chocolate that you need is Joey himself who is of the Labrador variety..." writes Sally Cronin, "Smorgasbord - Variety Is the Spice of Life."

Dogs Don't Look Both Ways is a true story with a unique voice about discovery and freedom, rules and boundaries, communication, and, of course, our dependence on the kindness of others - is a message about life itself.

Appropriate for all adults and for children 5th grade and up.
