Stay

If you believe in the unbreakable bond between a dog and his owner, this is the story for you.  Piper and her family are struggling.  They relocate to a new town after they lose everything.  They are able to find a place in a homeless shelter.  While waiting in line or dinner, Piper meets an older woman with a sweet dog named Baby.  Pets are not allowed in a shelter or a soup kitchen, so Jewel and Baby have to live outside and find food by other means.  When Jewel is taken to the hospital, Baby is left alone.  Piper and her new friends put aside their own struggles and work to reunite Baby and Jewel.  This Great Stone Face nominee this year was a touching story about giving of yourself to help others, the bond between a dog and his owner, and "seeing the doughnut, not the hole".  I also think this glimpse into homelessness is important and timely.  (FIC PYR)
