Lass by Roland Gebauer illustrated by Cheri Bladholm*

 This picture book is based on Phillip Keller's book, Lessons from a Sheep Dog.

Lass is a neglected dog living in the city. Mr. Keller sees an ad for her in the newspaper and buys her, hoping to train as his sheep dog. With love and patience he wins Lass's loyalty and affection. Mr. Keller links the relationship he has with his sheep dog to how believers love and obey Christ. After each chapter, Mr. Gebauer provides discussion questions and explanations about the connections. He also created more dicussion questions for after the story. Themes for each chapter are also highlighted.

After reading Phillip Keller's book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, I wanted to read more books by him. Unfortunately, the county's library system does not have any of his books. I requested this picture book via inter-library loan.

*Highly recommend.
