Jasmine Green, an aspiring vet, finds an abandoned border collie puppy on her farm. Weak and wary, the pup faces a tough recovery. With her mother's veterinary skills and her own determination, Jasmine must nurture the puppy back to health.

Dive into a heartwarming tale of rescue, healing, and the unbreakable bond between a girl and her dog.

From the publisher

Dog lovers will yip for joy as aspiring vet Jasmine Green returns to rescue another animal in need–this time, an abandoned border collie puppy. When Jasmine discovers a tiny pup hiding under a hedge on her family’s farm, she can’t believe her eyes. The poor thing hasn’t had anything to eat or drink in a long time, and he is so weak he can barely lift his head. Luckily, Jasmine’s mother is a veterinarian, and the Green family can give the puppy lots of love and care. But even if the pup survives, he has a long recovery ahead, and it will be hard for him to trust after being hurt before. Will Jasmine be able to form a bond with her new animal friend? Or will his owner try to take him back? An infectious love for animals and some impressive caretaking skills combine in a gently suspenseful story sure to appeal to readers who love a good dog tale.
