The story of Lobo, a perfectly normal and yet absolutely extraordinary stray dog, is a very touching tale with many twists and turns.
In his search for a place in the society into which he was born Lobo runs into situations from which there seems no escape. The unexpected final events and Lobo´s journey through an exciting and moving life are sympathetically and vividly portrayed and illustrated with drawings.
The life of this dog is, despite great adversity, constantly illuminated by a star of hope and especially for this reason the book is also suitable for children who want to fill it and Lobo´s illustrations with colour.
Forward

This 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.
