To kick off a “Bloggy Giveaway” here at the Food Bowl, you’ve got a chance to win one of ten copies of the book “A Friend Like Henry!” (Ten winners, one book each.)
The international bestselling book A Friend Like Henry is stealing the hearts of readers everywhere. It is an inspirational and compelling memoir by the mother of a young autistic boy named Dale and his golden retriever Henry.
While most people associate dogs as loving family pets or trained service dogs for those who are physically disabled, most people don’t think of them as a resource for those living with a condition such as autism.
The remarkable true story of Dale and Henry takes you on a journey of unconventional friendship, where a dog not only became an autistic boy’s best friend, but an invaluable tool for living life to the fullest.
To Enter:
Leave a comment telling me about a childhood pet. If you didn’t have a pet as a kid, what would you have liked?
* Contest closes at 5:00pm PDT on Friday, October 31. Winners will be notified by email and will have 24 hours to respond with mailing information before new winners are chosen.
* All current Bloggy Giveaways at The Food Bowl may be entered one time each. Good luck!

Our cocker spaniel was Taffy!
We had a basenji named Hadji.
We had lots of small animals when I was a kid — gerbils, turtles, guinea pigs and mice. But we only had one bird: a parakeet named Bozo. What a great bird!
I had a calico cat who was very cute and adorable.
I grew up on a farm so I had lots of pets from horses to chickens to dogs and cats. I had a whole “herd” of cats, as I called them and in the summer of 1984, I made them all participate in my “Cat Olympics” that coincided with the Olympics on TV. Needless to say, cats are not all that interested in gymnastics. Poor cats…I was a weird child!
