This heartwarming poem tells the story of a joyful little dog named Scooter. Scooter was born different, but he doesn't let that slow him down. With the aid of his Scoot Scoot he can do just about everything that his friends can, and even some things that they can't! When he's in a bind, his buddies are always there to help him out. Scooter has a happy life and true friends. Scooter and his pals teach us that it's what's in our hearts, not our outward appearances or our disabilities, that truly counts and sets us apart.
