While Alfie believes some 'guy time' will lift Herbie's spirits, Alfreeda thinks babying him is the answer. As the siblings try different tactics, their humorous attempts lead to unexpected results. Will they find the right way to make Herbie feel at home? Discover the heartwarming and funny journey of friendship and understanding in this delightful tale.

From the publisher

Alfie and his twin sister Alfreeda are excited to welcome Herbie, a cute little Yorkshire Terrier. But Herbie is not excited about being at Hound Hotel. The furry boy is so homesick that all he does is lay around and cry. Alfie’s convinced that Herbie just needs some guy time, but Alfreeda insists on babying the dog instead. Alfie’s many funny attempts at cheering up Herbie make this a charming early chapter book, sure to please boys and girls alike.
