This is an uplifting and positive true story about a dog who became blind and deaf, and how he coped with the handicap.

He did not lose his sweet disposition, become bitter, or afraid. He learned to trust his family to take care of him, watch over him, and others to not take advantage of his handicap. Rather, he used his other faculties to overcome his lack of hearing and sight to conduct a normal warm and friendly dog's life. At the same time, his human family has to learn to adapt too, ensuring his safety and well being.

The story line also offers us the opportunity to teach the kids how to explore an event and reach an understanding of it in a systematic way. Two such examples: first with the dog biscuits, and then with the steps leading in and out of the house.
