SOLVED. Children's book about a puppy that is always last [s]

[Sharon]

My six year old remembers reading a book about a puppy that is always last. She said at the end a little boy adopts the dog and says "you're my first pet!" so the puppy is finally first. She says we own it but I can't find in on our shelves.??

Thanks Lisa, what a perfect fit!! I showed my daughter and she said this wasn't the one. She says they were all dogs and not actually puppies. :-(

Trouper maybe?

Does your daughter remember if the book was colorful?

Funny! The boy even said the words you're my first puppy in this book. Ok all dogs no puppies search.

Tammy, The Pokey Little Puppy was my first thought when she started talking about the book, but no that's not it. That was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

Tad, she said the pictures were more cartoon like.

She said there was a page where the dog was being kind and let the others enter the dog house first but that's all she remembers (other than a boy adopting at the end and saying you're my first pet). She said it had more color than The Last Puppy - the dogs were regular brown and light brown.

Sharon, do you mean the puppy is last to be picked from a pet shop or something else? Why is he last?

[Kris]

Sharon, is this solved? What is the book's title and author?

[Sharon]

I moved it because I think my daughter may be confused. The book that Lisa posted - The Last Puppy - sounds exactly like the story she's describing.

Great. Thanks for letting us know. :)
