A Gift from Bob: How a Street Cat Helped One Man Learn the Meaning of ChristmasIn this poignant new story, A Gift from Bob, James Bowen recalls the last Christmas he was to spend on the streets, busking and selling the Big Issue with his cat Bob. In 2010, the weather was as bleak as his prospects. Christmas had always been the time he dreaded. Now at least he had Bob by his side, but his health was poor, and he had no money for food or warmth. There was no choice but to venture out onto the frozen streets to earn enough to pay

In this poignant new story, A Gift from Bob, James Bowen recalls the last Christmas he was to spend on the streets, busking and selling the Big Issue with his cat Bob.

In 2010, the weather was as bleak as his prospects. Christmas had always been the time he dreaded. Now at least he had Bob by his side, but his health was poor, and he had no money for food or warmth. There was no choice but to venture out onto the frozen streets to earn enough to pay for his electricity and--with luck--to afford some small treats for Christmas as well.

What James learned through this toughest of times was to give his new life with Bob--and Christmas--a meaning it had never had before.

Too small
Much smaller than it appeared to me in the picture. I did not read the length as I should. I would not have bought it if I saw it before purchasing. My 18 month old grandson now has a new toy.

Rottie Approved
Size: Large
My Rottie loves playing with this ball, either alone or with me. The first day she chewed a corner of the handle off (the handle is still usable), but then she figured out what it was for and has a blast with it. She has done no further damage to it, and it is strong enough to play tug. It's her favorite toy.
