BOOK REVIEW

By Penny Lex

BEING BENTLEY! By Della S. Davis

If you’ve ever…rescued a dog, been rescued back, or just want to read a good story to your four-legged pal, Being Bentley! hits the mark. In this simple but impactful read, Bentley, a little Bichon/ Shih Tzu mix, gives insight via his own voice to the perils he endured after leaving Mexico, being fostered, and eventually, making his way to his fur-ever home.

An abundance of inspiration from Bentley, along with the lockdown of COVID, was the impetus for Arizona author (and Bentley’s human mom) Della Davis to create Bentley’s yarn. Her “little story of hope, trust, and love from a dog’s point of view” offers some sage advice to children, or others, who may be enduring struggles and in need of encouragement by emphasizing their worth and significance as expressed by Bentley.

While the reading age of this 42-page story book is 3–6 years, dog lovers 3–92 will delight in this rich and uncomplicated tale. An assortment of photographs, as well as words and music for the original song, Bentley Kind of Day, are included.

"Is advertising in THE WAG magazine worth it? YES!"

"I advertise my emergency training business in THE WAG and have been pleasantly surprised when I get calls from students signing up for classes not only from all over the Valley, but also, all the way from the Prescott area. This is one of the few publications for marketing I have gotten results from."
