Bookroo's summary

Becket and Nicholas visit the shelter, each hoping for their perfect pet. Becket dreams of a lively dog, while Nicholas wants a calm cat. Instead, Becket's dog, Dibs, is timid, and Nicholas's cat, Given, craves attention. As they navigate these surprises, the twins must learn to love their new companions for who they truly are. Will they embrace the unexpected and find joy in their mismatched pets?

From the publisher

New dog, no tricks! Becket Branch has one birthday wish–a dog! Dogs are outgoing and friendly, and they live life loud, just like Becket. Becket’s twin, Nicholas, wants a pet more like him–a peaceful, quiet indoor cat. When their parents take them to the shelter to choose a dog and a cat, it should be Becket’s biggest BEAUTIFUL ALERT ever. But Becket’s dream dog, Dibs, turns out to be a super-shy scaredy-pooch. Meanwhile, Nicholas’s kitty, Given, loves being the center of attention and greeting visitors to Blackberry Farm. Can Becket and Nicholas learn how to love Dibs and Given as they are–even if they aren’t exactly the pets the twins dreamed of? With black-and-white drawings throughout by award-winning illustrator LeUyen Pham (Real Friends), this second volume of the Blackberry Farm series offers a gentle message about embracing new friends who may not match preconceived expectations.
