Learn about what puppies do. A puppy is much like a little brother or sister.

The poor Rotties have docked tails.

Shame on everyone involved with this book to promote such senseless cruelty.

This story is about a family that owns a dog named Rosie, and how Rosie has to adjust when the family adopts a new puppy. It’s a very sweet story about how the puppy loves Rosie right away, but it takes Rosie some time to a just to the puppy. Rosie does decide though that he likes the puppy when he’s snuggling next to him asleep.

This is a great book for a family who’s going through this experience and is trying to explain it to their young children. It’s also just a touching little story in general.
Beautiful pictures that are bold and colourful.
