A loving family finally adopts Mr. Higgins. As Thelma, his adopted sister, succumbs to illness, Mr. Higgins learns how his big feelings of loss can bring him closer to his new family. Mr. Higgins Comforts a Family is about consoling individuals in need. ALSO AVAILABLE: A Home for Mr. Higgins Mr. Higgins Takes a Stand Mr. Higgins to the Rescue ABOUT MR. HIGGINS: In 2014, authors David Preece and Jim Webber adopted a shy, nervous, and slightly suspicious mid-life black Scottish terrier. "Mr. Higgins"—the dignified name he arrived with—slowly blossomed in his new forever home. Though still cautious with strangers, he grew into a loyal, affectionate companion who returned love in his own steadfast way, all while keeping his dads on a strict daily routine. Not one for pats on the head, Higgins prefers a gentle touch along his sides and the comfort of burrowing into a cozy space. He delights in walks, other dogs, treats, and—as a natural-born outfielder—an enthusiastic game of fetch. His quirks, courage, and quiet resilience inspired the stories that now bear his name.
