What is the magic that pets bring into our lives? How do they help us all, young and old, grow, sometimes in ways we would not have expected? Growing Up With Cobi is one family's story, recounted through the father's journal jottings during the years when his two sons, with the help of their shit-tzu, Cobi, made the transition from preteens to young men. If you've ever had a pet, or just wondered what that might be like, you'll enjoy this gentle account of a Mom, a Dad, two boys, and their dog.
