They Cage the Animals at Night, Blog #8

Jennings is such a strong and intelligent little boy and his situation, I can imagine only made him stronger.  One thing that I believe really helped him deal with his problems and let him get by was Doggie.  Doggie was his hero like my bear Boo, is mine.  For as long as I can remember, I have always had Boo.   When I was a little girl I never let go of that stuffed animal's paw and the day I did I went crazy.  I was on vacation with my family and we were on our way home from the resort.  I was sitting in the car talking to my mom when I remembered that Boo was on the counter at the resort.  I began to ball and there was no stopping me.  We were also about 5 hours away from the hotel already so there was definitely no way we were going back.  My mom had to make my dad stop the car so she can check if Boo was in the back.... HE WAS!! Someone in my family had put him in the trunk before we all left.  After I found out that it was my uncle I praised him for the rest of the trip.  If it weren't for him Boo would be wit me today.  Boo was my world at the time, like Doggie did with Jennings.  Having this love for a stuffed animal in common with Jennings made me enjoy the story so much more.  It truly was one of the best stories I have ever read.
