Keller presents profound spiritual truth in his story of the “worthless” animal thought to be untrainable, who ultimately becomes a magnificent and valuable sheep dog—similar to how God's love can transform our worst characteristics into blessings.

I read A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 years ago. This expands on the theme. Being a dog lover I found this story really wonderful and its larger message beautifully articulated. (
