Shooting Starlight

ForwardThis is the tale of Lobo - a perfectly normal Romanian dog.His story takes place in Romania but might be told from all corners of the world; from any country where there are dogs without a home and living on the streets. It is an exceptional story with many twists and turns. By and large however it depicts the everyday lives led by many stray dogs - hardly noticed, unwanted or even abused, helpless and unprotected, for the most part running away, constantly hungry and always fending for themselves. In spite of every-thing though they are fond of humans and grateful for human contact and affection.May Lobo's story raise awareness that these dogs are living creatures who can experience joy and pain, who never harm anyone and who in return have a right to a sorrow-free life.Maybe children who read this story or have it read to them would like to colour the illustrations and so make Lobo's world a brighter place? And if whilst doing so you think of all of those - whether people or animals - whose lives are not colourful and happy, then these positive thoughts and prayers will surely make the world a little brighter.
