Publisher Description: Bernie is a book for all ages. It has become very popular in India and the SAARC countries bordering India. Finally, the novel has become available throughout the United States through First Books. Lost and abandoned dogs on a vacation island off the coast of Maine, discover the meanings and answers to life through Wolf, an aged Saint Bernard. He shares his knowledge and philosophies with Bernie, a young black Labrador retriever, and other canines. Wolf acquires his scholarly brilliance from listening for all of his 18 years, to his master, an English college professor reading from the classics, the Bible, history and other valuable works. Bernie proves to be a motivated student who applies and matures under the tutelage of his Saint Bernard mentor. The lessons Bernie acquired are eventually applied in dealing with life's predicaments. As in life, youth must be served and Bernie replaces Wolf as the able leader of their pack which also includes a female poodle, Alyce, and Springer Spaniel, Marion. Together the pack survive on the isolated island until they are finally rescued. All readers will profit from the lessons learned from these canines.. |
