Part of the Life in the Doghouse series
A three-legged dog and cat vie for family attention. Can they unite before the baby arrives?
Finn, a three-legged hound, joins the Figueroa family, eager to explore his new home. But when he meets Rusty, a three-legged cat, rivalry sparks. As they compete for the family's affection, tensions rise. With a new baby on the way, can Finn and Rusty bridge their differences and find friendship, or will their rivalry keep them apart? Discover if this unlikely duo can overcome their challenges and embrace their shared journey.
Inspired by a real dog from Danny & Ron’s Rescue from the popular documentary, Life in the Doghouse, this fourth book in the sweet chapter book series follows a dog’s rivalry with his new cat sibling. Finn, a Redbone hound with three legs, is excited to join the Figueroa family, who are also expecting a new baby to arrive any day now! The house is full of new toys and fun places to explore, but for Finn, who is still adapting to his missing back leg, the stairs are too daunting to manage. But Finn’s new home holds one big surprise–a new cat sibling, Rusty, who has three legs just like him! Finn is determined to become best friends, but Rusty has other plans. And when the two start fighting over the family’s attention, it turns into a battle to be the favorite pet. Will Finn and Rusty learn to get along before their new human arrives? Or is the dog-cat divide too large to cross?
