Barbara's Note: This is an excellent study expressing how God works in our lives. Our emphasis is not on the death of the dogs, rather on the family's mutual devotion, love, support and simple faith in God. Even if your child has seen the video, he will benefit from this study and its focus on God's providential care. (Grades 5, 6, 7)
