On the coldest morning of the year, Vicki Myron found a tiny, bedraggled kitten almost frozen to death in the night drop box of the library where she worked, and her life -- and the town of Spencer, Iowa -- would never be the same. Vicki was a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm and an alcoholic, abusive husband. But her biggest challenge as the new head librarian in Spencer was to raise the spirits of a small, out-of-the-way town mired deep in the farm crisis of the 1980s. Dewey, as the townspeople named the kitten, quickly grew into a strutting, adorable library cat whose antics kept patrons in stitches, and whose sixth sense about those in need created hundreds of deep and loving friendships. As his fame grew, people drove hundreds of miles to meet Dewey, and people all over the world fell in love with him. Through it all, Dewey remained a loyal companion, a beacon of hope not just for Vicki, but for the entire town of Spencer as it slowly, steadily pulled itself up from the worst financial crisis in its long history. Dewey won hearts and proved to everyone he encountered that unconditional love comes in many forms.

读后感

来源：2009年3月1日 南方都市报·阅读周刊 在书店转悠，被书架上一双明亮的小猫眼睛吸引住———金黄色的小猫杜威端坐着凝视着你，背后是一排排精装书。封面就交代了这本书的主要内容：小猫和图书馆。这只小猫在严冬的早晨被图书馆的人们发现，从此开始了它在小镇图书馆富有...  

并不是很多人有如下这般经历：在疲惫不堪的工作后、瑟瑟冬夜里，或是难挨的精神苦痛时，身旁总有一位这样的朋友默默地支持着你——它不会说话，但懂得倾听；它有生命，但没有人类的阴郁狡诈。若是你有过或正拥有这样一位朋友，你是幸运的。 是的，我说的是一只猫，它正躺...  

动物与人之间的关系恐怕是最玄妙最离奇的了。我不止一次地看见朋友亲戚在谈及家养小犬去世时忍不住滴落的眼泪。“没有经历过你不会知道的。我劝你以后可千万别养宠物。”每个人最后都抹着泪告诫我。 近年来一直流行的“我与xx宠物的故事”的书籍已经成为畅销书的基本模...

I don't believe in magic, thusly everything happens as i see has its own reason. How powerful the impact upon our life brought by a little kitten can be is unknown to me, but the thing i am sure of is that, those people who have offered their unconditional love to Dewey and enjoy the happiness bit by bit between each other, are always willing to open their warm and mighty hearts to life, which is defenitely not all roses. Things don't change, we change. What makes Dewey so special is that, his appearing in Spencer town, every of his little cute move, his never wearilessness of being naughty & curious that people love and hate, helps people awaken their ego of "the true, the good and the beautiful" long hibernated in the bottom of their hearts, pull themselves out of the trap of flippancy digged by reality, makes their own eyes clearer to the beauty everywhere in daily life which never been discovered before, sends their once exhausted hearts back to a bay of peace. Dewey did quite a lot unconciously, and everything changes obviously. Why? Finally, we got the answer from ourselves.
