Bookroo's summary

Charlie, a routine-loving pup, fears change might bring disaster. But when friends need his help, he must break his habits. Will this unexpected day teach Charlie that change can be good? Discover how this nervous dog navigates the unknown and learns to embrace new experiences.

From the publisher

A friend in need causes an anxious pup to confront his fear of change in this thoughtful and encouraging tale.

Charlie follows the same routine every day: he hops out of bed in the morning, walks the same route to the market, and lines up his stuffed animals just so in the evening. If anything is slightly different, Charlie worries that something bad might happen. But when friends call one morning asking for Charlie’s help, he forgets to follow his usual routine. Will something bad happen, as Charlie fears? Or will he learn that change can be good? In this touching story by Terry Milne, readers will fall in love with the nervous little dog named Charlie and his ability to overcome his fear of change.
