Author Description

This is a children’s book about tolerance and how a little puppy worries about finding a home because she is different. Unlike many children’s books this is almost entirely based on photographs, not drawings. She doesn’t know why she is different and on the last page we learn she was born without a tail so she can’t wag her tail to tell others she is friendly. Along the way she makes new friends with very different looking dogs and other animals, finds a happy home, but never learns why her brothers used to make fun of her. She is never neglected, never in danger, and never really frightened, just worried so there is nothing to frighten even the youngest child..The puppies are St. Weiler, that is, a designer breed combining St. Bernard and Rottweiler.
