This dog served as a best friend and companion for Jennings when all hoped was lost. He called him "Doggie" and it stayed with him to the end of his days (picture to the right). However, he took pride and comfort in his stuffed Dog, which was secretly given to him by a nun at one of the foster facilities. From being beaten and dragged across a wooden floor to being starved for days, he never once gave up. He was treated horribly at these places and the events that took place make your heart ache for this young little boy. Jennings Michael Burch, at the age of 8, was transferred back and forth from foster home to foster home, because of his sick mother and troubled living situation. This book was about a young boy who endured an incredible amount of hardships. They Cage Animals at Night was a heart-wrenching auto-biography.
