Cameron lives in Wales, where she rescues Siberian huskies who have been used for breeding then abandoned after years of neglect. The author integrates imagined conversations among the canines with Bible verses and Cameron's interpretations of New Testament passages to illustrate her inspiration, beliefs, and motivation for living a life of caring for others. The dogs' conversations and actions—their demonstrations of empathy and gentle suggestions of solutions to their despair—reflect her love for and care of them. The loving and vulnerable dogs cry for one another in sympathy and assure each other that "the kind lady" will care for them.
The techniques employed in this short book are interesting in the patterns that they weave. For example, there are the religious and philosophical lessons that Cameron evinces through the selections from the Bible and her own manifestations of these through the love and care that she lavishes willingly on her dogs. Then, entwined with these are the interactions that are part fantasy and part reality between the dogs and the symbolism that Cameron uses. Going to "the kind lady" by the huskies can be seen as a metaphor for going to Jesus, illustrating that if beings show their vulnerability and ask for help and healing, their requests will be granted on spiritual as well as physical levels. This interesting construction enhances the stories of the huskies' rescues and their friendships with one another. Photographs of the dogs Blusie. Bailey, and Anika, together with a pattern of paw prints on the pages, highlight the tale and help make the huskies real to the reader.
