Overview
The basic idea in "Sky Dog" is that sometimes the way that we the people, perceive things that are presented to us by the media, that we can only base our conclusion on what is being presented, along with our past understandings of the particular subject in question. When The American Indians saw a horse for the first time, they assumed, based on their past experiences, that when the Spaniards came to America, that they were actually riding on "large Dogs" They even had to look up to the sky to see these supposed dogs; thus the name "Sky Dog" When Bush said that he would give billions to the cities that were devastated by Katrina, I was overjoyed. It wasn’t until I heard our mayor state that we (New Orleans) was still broke, that I realized that, just as the American Indians had miss- perceived what they were looking at, the American public still believes that he actually gave the money to these states. What he did was; he gave it to FEMA. In other words, he gave it to himself. Once again This "Sky Dog" of miss-perception has reared its head.10 % of royalties from the book "Sky Dog: Lessons from Katrina" will be donated to "The Salvation Army for Katrina victims
From the author Jeremiah Hensley:
Sky Dog is a way of perceiving, things without having true knowledge of the thing that is being perceived. You will laugh, and you will cry when reading Sky Dog. The most important thing, however; is that you will be informed, and shocked at the reality of what had occurred after the sky had cleared.
