Run Scout Run

I jumped at the chance to say a word about Run Scout Run. Chris Datta opens the book by explaining the human bond with dogs in powerful theological, evolutionary and literary terms. Chris’ stance is firm and unapologetic: “The arrogance of humanity is appalling. We constantly set ourselves on high as the top of Creation.” But he and Scout forge a partnership of souls from the moment the nine-week-old whelp gazed at him “with brown soulful eyes.” Chris and Scout become true soul mates, each looking out for the other and sharing a love that defies life’s frailty. You will laugh a little and you will cry a little, but mainly you will let love fill your heart for the dog and for his human. If you love dogs, you will love this book.
