I loved this story. This is another one that I had downloaded months ago but only read last night. Despite the subject matter (I mean, c'mon, it's in the title) the story is about life and love and miracles. All of it written in the hound's "voice". What a great job Susan Kroupa did. I sighed. I smiled. I wanted Gabriel the Hound to come live with me. A wonderful story at any time of year, but so perfect for Christmas time.

If you've ever faced death, or ever had a dog, you'll understand Susan Kroupa's story—as told by Gabriel, Sally Ann's black-and-tan hound. And you'll cry, as I did—tears for what was and tears for what might have been. But also tears for what is, and what is to come.

Ever wonder what your dog is thinking? In "Gabriel & Mr. Death," author Susan Kroupa tells a sweet story from the point of view of Gabriel, a black-and-tan hound dog.
Gabriel's voice is clear, his understanding (and lack thereof) of his human family's situation charming. And when Gabriel finds himself trying to protect his owner from a threat she doesn't see -- Mr. Death -- you'd better have the tissues handy, or you won't be able to read through your tears to find out what happens!
A wonderful story for any season.

I so enjoyed this story from the first page to the end. It made me laugh,cry,and once again realize what a great gift a pet can be. Pets show us unconditional love and help to make each day happy and fun! Susan Kroupa is now a favorite author!

I loved this story. It gave me goosebumps and a lump in the throat all at the same time. Sue Kroupa is a friend whose writing I hadn't read in quite awhile. She has a wonderfully lyrical way with words. I love how she stayed within the dog's viewpoint in this story and how Gabriel talked with a "Southern hound dog" voice.
