Bookroo's summary

Bulldog, a well-meaning but clumsy pup, is on a quest to find the perfect job. With friends like Giraffe, Spider, and Moose, he tries firefighting, window washing, and more, only to face hilarious mishaps. From crashing ladders to flying canvases, Bulldog's journey is filled with laughter and lessons. Will he discover a job he truly loves, or will his clumsiness get the best of him? Join Bulldog as he learns that passion is key to success, leading him to open a bakery with his friends' support. Can Bulldog turn his love for cookies into a career?

From the publisher

Award-winning author Kate McMullan tells the story of Bulldog, a lovable pup who is searching for a job, with the help of his friends. Everyone is on their way to work in Bulldog’s Big Day-everyone, that is, except Bulldog. As his friends help him find a job, Bulldog’s good intentions clash with his hilarious clumsiness. He crashes a ladder through Giraffe’s firehouse roof, discovers his fear of heights when he tries to wash windows with Spider, sends Moose’s canvas flying when he sneezes, and tries Elephant’s patience when he’s caught reading the books he’s supposed to shelve. In the end, Bulldog finds out that you have to love your job in order to be good at it, and he opens a bakery with his friends’ support.
