Overview

Senior animals are often overlooked in crowded shelters. Many families want to adopt young pets, but the loyalty and love from a senior can't be compared to anything else. This book tells the true story of Glady, a 16-year-old poodle who was rescued from a shelter in Canada. Readers will learn how to help animals in need, what life is like for an unwanted shelter pet, and how senior and disabled animals are more capable than one might think. Good Girl Glady also teaches about the loss of a beloved pet in a realistic and comforting way. Glady's optimistic attitude, despite her many hardships, will inspire young readers to look on the bright side and find joy in the people and places around them.

We are close to deciding to put our beloved dog, Sydney, down as she is 13 years old. Our 4-year-old had difficulty grasping what this meant, and Good Girl Glady made the explanation so much easier and lighter on us all. I loved the description of her passing the rainbow bridge and telling her mom that they would see each other again. Not only did this comfort our children, but it comforted my husband and me as well. We bought Sydney from a breeder but will rescue an older dog because of this book. -Kimberley O. I stumbled upon Good Girl Glady and loved the message it stood for. It's very important to our family to rescue animals, as we have done with our two cats and two dogs. I bought this book for my children to emphasize the importance of rescue and how this can save lives. Good Girl Glady also helped bring up the topic of losing a pet which our children haven't experienced yet. I recommend this book for so many reasons. -Josh M. After visiting an animal shelter in California, my daughter Sloane had a lot of questions that I didn't have answers to. I am so glad I found this book!! It could explain to her everything I couldn't put into words. Thank goodness I found it! -Hanna P. Good Girl Glady was our saving grace after our dog Henry died. Our kids frequently talk about how Henry is across the rainbow bridge with his other friends having so much fun. -Mikey L.
