About this listen

This is a children’s story about a puppy too big to play with the other puppies and too young to play with the older dogs. The story of Thor shows that everyone has a place in life, no one is a misfit.

Thor: The Lonesome Puppy will steal your heart. A puppy that was larger than most puppies, and no one wanted to play with. It is a story that warms you, and teaches how to accept differences in each other.

Having read two other books by Marta Moran Bishop, I looked forward to reading this short story. Why? Because this talented author manages to humanize animals to such a fine degree you actually believe the animals are realistically talking directly to you.

From the very beginning, I was happy to read how much this short story fits perfectly into Bishop’s special flair. The puppy, Thor, is surrounded by so many other dogs and puppies, which normally, would make any puppy happy. But not Thor. Why? Because the parents of the other dogs have an instant prejudice against him: His size. He is a Great Dane puppy, so words from the other puppies’ mommies such as, “Leave that big oaf alone,” smack at him daily.

More than feeling hurt, “the poor big puppy stands there, blinking, trying hard not to cry.” And when he attempts to play with the bigger puppies, they just laugh at him. He is truly miserable. Why is his life like this? He has done nothing wrong.
But then, fate steps in, to offer him a final chance of happiness in his life. When the owner forgets to lock the gate, Thor gets out and charges down the road and over to a neighboring house to look for some happiness and acceptance. Unfortunately, the children playing in the house’s front yard are not nice to him, yelling at him and throwing stones his way. But suddenly, their mother appears…will this human being adopt him? He certainly hopes so, with all his heart.

Take the short time to find out. Bravo to both Marta Moran Bishop and Patricia Moran for such a charming and touching work. And bravo to Genea Morfeld Swan, for her wonderful, perfect-for-this-story narration.
