Description

The true story of how one little puppy learned to breathe on her own -- as seen on The Dodo!

When Sally was rescued, this tiny dachshund puppy couldn't eat or breathe without help. Sally had a feeding tube to give her food and medicine. And she had to stay inside a plastic bubble to get the extra oxygen she needed.

But Sally was determined to breathe on her own. She practised spending small amounts of time outside her bubble. Slowly but surely, Sally's lungs grew healthy and strong. With the love and support of those around her, Sally showed the world what it means to never give up!

This story is perfect for middle-grade readers and comes with an eight-page full-colour photo insert!
