Inspired by a real dog from Danny & Ron's Rescue from the popular
documentary, Life in the Doghouse, this first book in a sweet chapter
book series follows an old dachshund who forms an unlikely friendship
with the boy in his new family--a great fit for fans of Bruce Cameron's
Puppy Tales series
Elmer is a small dog with a big personality living at Danny and Ron's
rescue. He wants nothing more than for someone to become his forever
family. But as an older dog with a floppy tongue that doesn't stay in
his mouth, it seems like he never fits the families' idea of the perfect
pet.
Benny's family just moved (again), and what he wants are friends. So,
when his parents announce they are getting a dog, he's so excited to
show it off--until they come home with a funny-looking older dachshund.
To make matters worse, his parents have signed them up for a pet
training course that will end with a big talent show in front of a crowd
of strangers.
Thrown together, Elmer and Benny learn that the perfect best friend
might be different than they imagined--but even better than they'd
hoped.
