The Ambassador's Dog is a story of the power of serendipitous meetings, the power of dreams, and the power of hope. Written by retired career diplomat and three-time Ambassador Scott DeLisi and illustrated by award-winning artist, Jane Lillian Vance, it tells the tale of a puppy who waited on a trail in what once was the ancient kingdom of Lo on the Tibetan Plateau and of the man who was meant to cross his path. It is a reminder that compassion and courage and unexpected wonders are to be found in the world if our hearts are open to seeing them.
