Hello, Mr. Pinkwater. I just wanted to tell you that I’m currently reading your short essay compilation and I’m enjoying every page of it. In fact, when reading “Soul of a dog”, I actually CRIED in the middle of the coffeeshop I was at.

The thing is, I think that story is too amazing not to share. I would like to ask you permission to translate it into Spanish and post it in my personal blog – with all the correct attributions and of course, links to stores where you can buy the full book. Would you be so kind as to grant me permission to do so?

Thank you in advance for the permission, and thank you for sharing so beautiful stories with the world.

Thanks for your kind words.  Yes, you may translate it, and post the translation, provided you agree not to sell it for money.  Let us know when it is done, and we will post a link here.
