childhood book…
Beautiful Joe
more than a cur
The novel by Marshall Saunders was one of my favorite books when I was a child. Told from the point of view of the dog Joe, it is the story of a puppy, who is cruelly abused by his master and rescued by a young man. Written in 1893, it is still a poignant story today about the dog who gets a second chance at life with a loving family.

This reminds me of the commercial where the gal is three d imaging pieces parts for animals at her rescue place. Oddly enough I just wrote a flash fiction with the name Marshall…
Marshall Hunter; Usually
It is wonderful to read the stories of any animal that has been rescued. I’ve family that only takes in rescues for their pets; cats and dogs… and one even saved a chicken that fell off a truck. Though he didn’t live all that long – at least his final days were better than what they could have been.

Will check your flash fiction out. Marshall was actually Margaret, but the publishers didn’t think the story would be accepted if written by a woman (late 1800s) so the author’s name was changed to Marshall. I probably read the novel when I was 8-10 the first time, yet I can still recall much of it today. I have discovered that there’s a sequel that I would love to read, but finding a copy has been difficult so far.
