A Heartwarming Story of Companionship and Sacrifice This is the story of two dogs and a young lad. Rugby is the family Labrador, best companion of a young boy who lives in the country. Rosie is introduced to them as a young pup, irrepressibly happy to play all the day with her two new companions. Rugby is a hard sell, ignoring the pup who barks at him, climbs over him, and won't leave him alone, until one day when, inexplicably, he has a change of heart, and the three launch into the blissful days of summer. Yet the boy knows that their camaraderie is not to last, for come autumn Rosie is destined to train as guide dog for the blind. Rugby & Rosie is the winsome story of two dogs and a young lad and a way of giving that makes a difference. This landmark work is beautifully illustrated in color; winner of the Golden Sower Award.

Latina/o Communication Studies aims to challenge this split by creating a more complex and less Eurocentric understanding of rhetoric. This rich and informative book contributes to a more nuanced understanding of race and ethnicity and attests to the importance of Latina/o studies in the field of communication.
