The New York Times bestseller featured on THE TODAY SHOW!
A heart-tugging dog adoption story told through letters--deeply sincere
and almost desperate pleas for a forever home--from the dog, himself!
This picture book shares the tale of Arfy, a homeless mutt who lives in
a box in an alley. Arfy writes to every person on Butternut Street about
what a great pet he'd make. His letters to prospective owners share that
he's house broken! He has his own squeaky bone! He can learn to live
with cats! But, no one wants him. Won't anyone open their heart--and
home--to a lonesome dog? Readers will be happily surprised to learn just
who steps up to adopt Arfy.
Troy Cummings's hilarious and touching story is a perfect gift for a
child wanting a dog, and for pet adoption advocates. It also showcases
many different styles of letter writing, making it appealing to parents
and teachers looking to teach the lost art of written communication.
