Brief Summary/Book Usage: This story is about a little girl who is lonely and finds a stray dog that follows her home. She asks her parents if she can keep him and he has no collar so they say she can keep him. She takes the dog everywhere and they become the best of friends. She is no longer lonely because she has her dog to keep her happy. I believe this book would be great to use in the classroom with a young group of students. Many students can relate to having a pet that they are fond of and cannot live without. The cute story along with the wonderful autumn themed pictures make this book a great read for the younger audience.
