An abandoned little dog survives in the wilderness until he is rescued and taken to a shelter, and then adopted by a kind lady. This book teaches children that animals have feelings; that there are "helpers" all around us; even in unfortunate circumstances we can always have hope for better outcomes; and the benefits of adopting a rescued pet. The book includes discussion questions at the end to engage children in dialogue about their thoughts and feelings brought out by the story. A compelling tale based on a true story for ages 6 - 12.
