A boy named Susie

We look at the story of Ruth and how a young woman gives up any chance of a better life by moving back with her Jewish mother-in-law to Israel, a land that will hold her, Ruth, as a pagan and as inferior.  God rewards Ruth, however, for her love and courage.  We also look at my father's love of dogs, and a story about an apricot poodle that was left wandering after its owner died by herself in her house.
