My Dog Skip - Heartwarming Family Movie DVD | Perfect for Movie Nights & Pet Lovers | Great Gift for Dog Owners

I am embarrassed to say that before I read "My Dog Skip" and "My Cat Spit Magee", I did not know Willie Morris. This is an absolute crime, that I got to be this old without reading him. But then, I'm not native to Mississippi. I'm trying to rectify this pitiful situation as quickly as possible. To anyone who is a dog lover and a lover of the popular new genre "Creative Non-Fiction", this book is a must-read. Morris paints a word picture as clearly and with as much color as anybody I've ever read, leaving me always eager to turn the page, to read more, and crying at the end. He makes me laugh, he makes me cry, he makes me mutter, "Aww[...]", he touches my heart and soul with his words and renews my faith in what seems to be becoming a lost art: true literature ... and with a great story to tell! I knew not just a particular little terrier (or white cat in the case of Spit Magee), I knew a boy and a man, with all his strengths and weaknesses. I am sad he was buried before I ever read him, but Willie Morris lives on, as does Skip, as does Spit Magee, in my heart and in the hearts of generations to come who absolutely SHOULD read him.
