      Book Overview

      A brave boy goes into the hills and prays for help for his people. A rider on a magnificent animal comes to him and says: "This animal is called the Sacred Dog. He can do many things your dogs can do and also more...He is as the wind: gentle but sometimes frightening." The clouds close and suddenly one by one countless Sacred Dogs course down from the sky. And so the courage of one determined boy is rewarded by the Great Spirit: The horse, or Sacred Dog, is given to his tribe.

      Crazy Visions in the Sky

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Man, I love anything with crazy visions in the sky - particularly the first chapter of the Biblical book Ezekiel - but the vision in this book is a neat thing to read about too. I just don't get why the buffalo was referenced at the end. Must be a Native American custom to end all stories with some mentioning of a buffalo. I'm sorry to say I still like non-sacred dogs more than sacred dogs, but I have a very good reason...

      Great

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I loved this book when I was little, and I still love it now. It's great to see that it's still around. It's a wonderful story with even better illustrations for children and adults.

      Children and adults will enjoy the colorful illustrations and tale of how the Native Americans acquired the horse. Lovely!
