"A touching, easy-to-read children's story...based on an actual event pertaining to the author's own dog." - Stevie Turner, writer. A sweet nonfiction picture book with a Hispanic family that teaches compassion, friendship, trust, and courage (kids ages 5 - 8, kindergarten - third grade, especially for children with a fear of dogs).

Look inside! Muffy is a little dog who loves people; but after a painful injury she is wary of other dogs. Valor is a lost German shepherd who gets hit by a car. When Muffy's family brings Valor home to recover, no one is sure what Muff will do. Kids love the dog counting activity and online EXTRAS.
