A DOG'S TOOTH

by W.W. Rowe, illus. by Chris Banigan

In this classic Tibetan tale of the power of faith, a young man is asked by his dying mother to obtain a sacred relic to help her. He fails to do this and instead deceivingly brings her a tooth from the skeleton of a dog and tells her it is the Buddha's tooth. The story movingly conveys how the mother's strong faith has the power to fulfill her dreams in spite of the son's deceit.

The point of view of this story is not often seen in writings or stories in the West. It acknowledges the sketchy judgment of the son, and illustrates that, in spite of his human failings and immature reasoning, the effects can be overcome by the power of a person's pure faith, devotion and dedication. The illustrations are a miracle of lively imagination and technology.
