a cute story!
This was such a cute story! My 8 year old loved that he was able to read it by himself.

A Learning Experience!
What a wonderful story about rescuing a puppy mill dog! There is a lot to rescuing any animal, especially when they bear emotional scars. Kids will learn just how important it is to help any pet that was taken from a rough situation. They need patience and lots of comfort. This book is an easy read for older kids, with excellent information about puppy mills.

This book is wonderfully written. Ruby the dog as the narrator is great for adults and children alike. The chapters flow easily and the subject matter though it could be very difficult and complicated was presented easily enough for young children to understand and relate.
I recommend this book for people of all ages to understand the importance of advocacy for humane treatment of pets. It also could be seen as having an underlying message for people to treat each other with respect. As a vet, I wish that every person would read this book especially new pet owners or those hoping to get a pet in their near future.
Overall, well written and great story line with an important message for all!
