I really hate to part with this one. It's been sitting on my shelf for a while and I don't think I'm going to reread it again. Someone else deserves to enjoy it!

This is a great read if you know of someone close to death or has just passed. This book is so enlightening that I really hesitated to post it!

This book moves like poetry ...to dance with the white dog is a loving eulogy to old age itself...a tender celebration of life, made poignant by death being so close at hand. Los Angeles Times

Very sweet read by a local Georgian author.
Beautiful beautiful story---i loved every minute of it--even ordered the movie. Get out the kleenex and snuggle up with coffee and be prepared to ENJOY.
Such a sweet tender story. I was thinking, along with his kids,that perhaps his mind was slipping in seeing the white dog.
This story is lovely in talking about how deeply we miss our mate when they are gone. It was funny with his daughters fussing over him and him "tricking" them.
the ending was a real surprise to me. I read this in 2 hours and cried most of the way through.

If you have an elderly person in your family that you love and care about then you must read this book!
I read this book years ago and the story still haunts me.
Sam Peek's children are worried - since the day his wife of 57 years died - no one knows how he will survive. How can this elderly man live alone on his farm? How can he keep on driving his old truck down to the fields to care for his few rows of pecan trees? And when Sam begins telling his children about a white dog, as white as snow, that seems invisible to everyone else, his children think that grief and old age have racked their father's mind.
But whether it is a real canine or a phantom, Sam Peek - "One of the smartest men in the South when it comes to trees" - outsmarts them all. Sam and White Dog will dance from the pages of this bittersweet novel and into your heart, as they share the mystery of life, and begin together a warm and moving final rite of passage.
