"How the Rhodesian Ridgeback Got Its Ridge" is a charmingly illustrated and cleverly written fable, about how this breed of dog from southern Africa got the trademark stripe of hair on its back. In this whimsical creation tale, God surveys the various dogs He has created, and, in ticking off their idiosyncracies, decides to try one more time in creating the perfect canine. But in making a dog that is as smart as it is beautiful, God sets the stage for a mishap that leads to unintended consequences. If you love Ridgebacks and want to share that passion with a younger generation - or if you just love a clever story, beautifully told and illustrated - this is the book for you.

I had no idea this book was written. The author Denise sold us a ridgeback 101/2 years ago. She passed a week ago today. When visiting Denise’s site I came across this book. It’s just perfect. It brought tears to my eyes reading the most accurate description of my baby girl. It’s such a cute idea on how they get their ridge. Every ridgeback owner should have this. There is no other dog like the ridgeback ❤️

Was looking forward to give to my children for Christmas. We got a RR puppy this summer. Although a good amount of the text resonated with my experience so far with the breed, douting God’s power really made me change my mind about giving it to my children. The ending really took the cake:(
As casual conversation for adults maybe. But for children that are being formed you can’t present them with something so contradicting to what one is trying to teach.
God CAN do anything.

Adorable book and illustrations. It was expensive for the price, but I gave it as a gift to a Rhodesian Ridgeback owner and she LOVED it! The books describes the breed really accurately! The owner even asked if it was customized. If you know someone obsessed with their Ridgeback, they definitely need this book

3.0 out of 5 stars entzückend
Reviewed in Germany on July 13, 2016

Absolut entzückendes Kinderbuch. Wunderbar illustriert und die Geschichte ist auch sehr, sehr süß. Nur wie Frau Flaim und Ihr Illustrator darauf gekommen sind, über 25 Euro dafür zu verlangen, wird mir für immer ein Rätsel bleiben. Es ist weder eine Originalidee (die Geschichte wird Kindern in Südafrika schon so lange erzählt, wie es Ridgebacks gibt), noch hat das Buch irgendetwas anderes, das den Preis rechtfertigen könnte. Hier wird schon damit gerechnet, dass alle Ridgeback Besitzer alles kaufen, wo Ridgeback drauf steht (hab ich ja auch gemacht). Wir sind nun mal "speziell".
