The story of one mailman, a few dogs, and the power to bring joy back to a grieving community-inspired by a celebratedWWII veteran.

George lives a peaceful life on his family farm in Indiana until he is recruited for the US army for WWII. While George longed to go back home throughout the war, home is a very different place when he returns. His family farm has been sold and George must find a new job. Though he swore he would never wear a uniform again, George becomes a letter carrier. Then, something unexpected and miraculous happens-friendly neighborhooddogs begin following him on his daily route. As the parade of dogs quickly grows each day, so too does the joy spread in a community still healing from loss.

John Spray's stepfather is the inspiration behind the character George, who was a celebrated WWII veteran and post-war letter carrier-loved by both the people and dogs in his small town, Lafayette, Indiana. Scot Ritchie illustrates with powerful depth and humor..
