Author Tamara Martin lives in the 4-Corners area of the Southwest and has seen many valuable, friendly animals abandoned, just like Bluebird. Martin wants to let others know the plight of what are called "Rez Dogs". Bluebird's journey is colorfully and accurately illustrated by Navajo artist Ernest John. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"In large cities, dog rescue groups abound. Laws are enforced to ensure that all pets are altered. However, there are still Navajo people on rural Reservation land who live without plumbing, electricity or paved roads. Unemployment runs as high as 60%. Some cannot afford to spay/neuter or vaccinate their dogs. There are only 2 veterinarians to cover an area as large as West Virginia. Today, positive changes are being made. Traditional Navajo beliefs are considered alongside modern veterinary practices in this long-standing relationship of a people and their animals. Bluebird's story gives examples of the potential for goodness in human-canine relationships." - Ruth Storer, author</p><br>
