Bookroo's summary

A tiny dog with a big personality is tired of being pampered and longs to romp with the big dogs. He dreams of muddy puddles and stick-chasing, but his owner just doesn't get it. Can he break free from the handbag and heart-shaped treats to find his place in the pack? Discover how this determined pup learns that true friendship goes beyond appearances in this delightful picture-book comedy.

From the publisher

When you’re a preciously small canine with a big and bold personality, how do you show your doting owners that you want to be treated like an ordinary dog? The dog in this book doesn’t want to be carried in a handbag (how embarrassing!) or eat heart-shaped mini puppy treats (I mean, come on!). And under no circumstances does he ever want to be called “choochie pooh”! If only his owner understood. All this dog wants to do is play with the big dogs in the park–chasing sticks, jumping in muddy puddles, and being a regular part of the pack. From Sean Taylor, the author of Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise, and Kate Hindley, illustrator of Worst in Show, comes a picture-book comedy filled with vibrant art and starring a fed-up pup who learns that when it comes to making new friends, appearances aren’t everything.
