Jasper and his servant

Sure you remember Jasper the cheerful, boisterous, but friendly dog who has found a home at the Dutch author Gerbrand Bakker and unfortunately died suddenly this year.

We were very shocked by Jaspers death. Now we are pleased to report that not only Jasper lives on in our hearts, but also in a book. Gerbrand Bakker has written a book about himself and his faithful companion, which appears also as E-book in the Netherlands and will be released in Germany in September.

He describes how he bought an old house in the Eifel and moves in with his dog Jasper, what they experience there and how Gerbrands past comes back to life by living in the Eifel with his Jasper.
But see for yourself (in Dutch):

We are very pleased with this humorous book that shows the soul of man and dog, and it proves once again that it is worth to help the animals, because they teach us more than we think.
