Review
This down-on-his-luck mutt has cuteness in spades” --Booklist
Review
"Cleverly, tenderly, [Stephens] touches on some big emotions for young readers: loneliness, rejection, sadness and fear. Yet its her gentle humor and the characters innocence, loyalty and love that triumph. When readers reach the last spread...they will ask for more, again and again. Just dazzling."
