Toronto, Oct 3 ) If you’re an animal lover, big or small,- you’ll want to check out IS THAT A WOLF OR A DOG? - A very special book about a very big dog (or is it a wolf?) that comes into a boy’s life and changes it forever.
This fun and affecting story by Canadian author Marcangelo Benevenga is sure to take its place among the classics of man-and-his-dog literature and delight readers of all ages. The story is an engaging one.
From the description on Amazon :
“HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED OF HAVING A PET WOLF? Marc loves dogs, but has always dreamed of owning a pet wolf. It was something he thought could only happen in fantasy books . . . until he visited Italy with his family. On the streets of Venice, Marc learns about the rare Czechoslovakian Wolfdog. Marc becomes determined to own this beautiful dog, but there is a problem. Back home in Toronto, there are no Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs. Marc has to import a puppy from Italy, and names her Arya but he quickly learns that she isn’t like regular dogs. Marc quickly learns the challenges of owning a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog: Arya is intelligent, mischievous and an escape artist. Are these dogs always this difficult to train? Will Marc’s dream turn into a nightmare? Will he and Arya develop the relationship he has always dreamed of?”
The 44 page, illustrated book, published just as Covid put a stop to in person launches and book signings last year, has still been garnering rave reviews - and regular 5 star ratings.
“What a great story for my kids!!! The illustrations were so clear and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this story for families. Well done!!!” wrote one reader, while another said, “Loved how this story not only follows a dream, it highlights the journey and work put in. It is super informative and educational while encouraging love for dogs and fun breeds. It is funny and really shows the writer’s personality and we thoroughly enjoyed this read!”
Benevenga, a Toronto resident, and his dog, Arya, a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog that inspired the book, recently appeared in a Netflix documentary about dogs and this is Marc’s first book, based on how they found each other.
““People always stop us on our walks and ask about Arya. I thought the best way to share her story was to write a book about it!.”” he said.
As proud as Marc is about the new book, he is proudest of another accomplishment - he says he was recently Voted World’s Greatest Dog Dad - by Arya.
