When Shiner Died: A Children's Book About Pet Loss

By Rebecca Hauder, R.N., M.Ed.

When Shiner Died is the story of a family pet—a yellow lab—that died. Two members of Shiner's adopted family tell the story - Maggie (age 6) and Luke (age 4). When Shiner Died will almost certainly bring tears to adult eyes, and children will identify with the story, as told by their peers.
