The Dog Who Dared to Dream
The Dog Who Dared to Dream | Sun-mi Hwang
11 posts | 11 read | 18 to read
This is the story of a dog named Scraggly. Born an outsider because of her distinctive appearance, she spends most of her days in the sun-filled yard of her owner's house. Scraggly has dreams and aspirations just like the rest of us. But each winter, dark clouds descend and Scraggly is faced with challenges that she must overcome. Through the clouds and even beyond the gates of her owner's yard lies the possibility of friendship, motherhood and happiness - they are for the taking if Scraggly can just hold on to them, bring them home and build the life she so desperately desires. The Dog Who Dared to Dream is a wise tale of the relationship between dog and man, as well as a celebration of a life lived with courage. Translated into English for the first time, it is a classic from Sun-mi Hwang, an international bestselling author.

A thought provoking little story, tinged with sadness but brimming with heart. This will make any dog lover cherish their pup even more. #Dog

I read this book in one sitting and it broke my heart. Don‘t let the cute cover fool you – this book is sad, but really good!

This is my #BookInTranslation pick for #SummerFun bingo and fulfills another square on my July #BookSpinBingo card!

@Foxyfictionista thank you! Read in one sitting on the day I received it. As we are nearing the end of the book club I think the cats 🐈 are out of the bag and wanted you to know I loved it! And ❤️🐶

Foxyfictionista I'm glad you liked it! 😊 5y
Nute I didn‘t know that she had a new book out. I really enjoyed her last book about the hen. I have to get this soon! 5y

Love the artwork of these two books but don‘t be deceived by the sweet illustrations on the cover, and the simple fables, as they delve into heavy subject matters like motherhood, freedom, survival, friendships and betrayals.

I don't give out 5 stars very often. Here are some books I am most looking forward to reading. Hopefully they will be at least 4 stars. I own the bottom four and need to get the top three.

Adored this book. I read it in just a couple hours and was incredibly moved once again by Sun-Mi Hwang's ability to write about #friendship, #love, #motherhood and #trauma and portray these themes through an animal. A sweet, touching story, definitely worth reading.

My first #bookdepository #bookmail arrived! 😸
I will now gather a blanket, chocolate, three furry companions, and lots of tissues. Her writing is so beautiful but I need to emotionally prepare myself. The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly had me open mouth little bitch crying for days. 😿

TobeyTheScavengerMonk Best of luck! I am somehow having an emotional reaction to the COVER, so I'm sure the contents are going to pack a punch. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm I hope you'll enjoy it! 7y

This book is so sad, I was close to tears several times. It's told from the pov of a dog, who had a harsh life but a survivor. I was emotionally attached to her from the start. At the heart of the story, it's about the relationship between the dog & her owner. The writing is simple, the style may not be for everyone but it's an endearing tale dealing with themes of loss, motherhood, friendship, hardship & betrayal. #litsyatoz

MaleficentBookDragon I don't know if I can handle this. The Hen made me cry so much. It was heart wrenching and beautiful. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm @MaleficentTheBookDragon I find this pale just slightly in comparison to The Hen, but still full of meaning. :) 7y
MaleficentBookDragon Ok I just ordered it. I couldn't help myself. 7y
erzascarletbookgasm @MaleficentTheBookDragon Woohoo! If you liked Thd Hen, you'll appreciate this too. 7y

Nachdem ich schon Sun-Mi Hwangs Buch "Das Huhn, das vom Fliegen träumte" wirklich klasse fand, habe ich mich sehr gefreut, als ich erfahren habe, das ein neues Buch der Autorin erscheinen wird. "Der Hund, der zu träume wagte" ist nun schon auf dem deutschen Markt erhältlich und ich habe es endlich geschafft, es zu lesen. Und auch dieses Mal konnte die Autorin mich nicht enttäuschen! Eine Rezension wird natürlich bald folgen.
