Description
A heart-tugging story about an abandoned dog who is looking for a forever home -- and a boy who finds him!
A Kirkus 2022 Best Picture Books of the Year
★ "An exquisitely rendered, touching story of companionship and belonging." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "This sweet and touching story will prove a worthy addition to any collection." - School Library Journal, starred review
There is a dog that no one wants. Abandoned and afraid, he must use his wits to survive the city's streets. Sadly, no one comes for him.
Meanwhile, not far away, there is a boy who wants a dog more than anything in the world. But his room is a mess. He needs to help more around the house. And his parents tell him he must learn to be more responsible. Little does the boy know, there is a dog nearby longing for a forever home and someone to love him. And that dog has his eye on our boy!
Henry Cole masterfully weaves together two tender storylines that result in a heart-tugging wordless picture book that celebrates love, kindness, and compassion for animals.
