I love that this happy, not-so-patient Rescue Dog finds his forever home, with gentle humans and a fun pet friend. What's sad is that (and this occurs all too often) this Dog needed to be in a Shelter at all, simply because his original humans were too shortsighted to think ahead and to expect a dog to grow.

The outcome does prove to be heartwarming, though, and I applaud that this book and others are part of an outreach to Children which also benefits shelters.

Tiny's first adoption just does not work out. He tries, but he's just "too much". The second family allows him to settle in and make some mistakes, and they have another dog for him to play with.

This book should be required reading for all new pet parents, especially those of rescue animals! As it says, it does sometimes take months for an animal to settle in.

A children’s book about a rescue dog! Amazing. With learning points for children and adults - the 3 days, 3 weeks, 3 months stages of adjustment are covered. Kids have SO many questions about my rescue dogs - where did they come from? Who had them before you? The story is from the perspective of a dog through adoption as a puppy, losing that family, spending time in foster, then finding his new family. I work as a foster for a dog rescue and will be sharing this widely.
