Alfred and Rex talked for hours. Alfred said he liked sleeping in the
sun, dog food, and scratching. Rex did too. Rex said he hated baths and
going to the vet. Alfred did too.
A little pug dog learns he's lovable just the way he is.
Alfred the pug dog thinks he's unlovable. Other dogs make fun of his
tiny legs and funny face. The cat and the parrot and even the goldfish
tease him. Then a new dog, Rex, moves in next door. Because Alfred wants
a friend so badly, he tells Rex a little fib about himself. But what
will happen when Rex learns the truth? Will he find Alfred unlovable
too?
Dan Yaccarino has created a charming story about a little pug who learns
the true meaning of friendship.
