Based on the story of a real dog, this charmingly illustrated and delightful children’s book about an unwanted shelter dog ends with love and an unlikely hero, while teaching children not to judge by appearances.
A little girl wants a beautiful show dog, but her parents bring home a naughty little rescue dog, instead. He’s not beautiful; he’s trouble looking for a place to happen. He’s shy and fearful; eats packages and newspapers; digs holes in the garden; and sometimes he smells a little funny. Reluctant at first to accept a dog who isn’t perfect, the girl learns that love is about more than beauty. Fun for parents to read. Perfect for ages 2-7.
Genre: Children's Fiction
