"Watercolor and pastel artwork by Jacoby (Rabbit and the Motorbike) offers shifting, shimmering fields of color. Even the dog understands the emotional impact of the hues: 'when you need a deep blue dark—/ Can I sit with you?' it says, planted by her side on a Prussian blue winter night. . . . [The dog is] a saintly, patient presence in this portrait of pure-hearted canine love."
