Wonderful 🐕 dog story

I must admit that I was not ready for what this story started out with. Dark and a little depressing it slowly gets better and soon teaches a great lesson about hope.

The hero of the book is first lost, found then hurt and trapped. Taught by friends to hope and dream of what can be she eventually get to see all of them come to pass.

A good book with a good villain for kids.

My young son and I enjoyed reading this story at bedtime. The dog is adorable and her arch nemesis is a scary old curmudgeon with all the charm of Cruella Deville. This was fun to read with a little one, and I recommend it. Thanks for the author for the free Kindle offer!
