Bookroo's summary

In an animal shelter, a growly pup insists she's a lone wolf, not needing anyone. But a perceptive young girl sees through her tough exterior, understanding that fear can make even the best dogs act out. Can kindness transform this prickly pup into a beloved companion? Discover a heartwarming tale of unexpected friendship and the power of seeing beyond appearances.

From the publisher

A dog who insists she’s a wolf finds the perfect home with a young girl who sees past her prickly personality in this pet adoption story that’s as laugh-out-loud funny as it is heart-tugging.

When a particularly growly pup finds herself in an animal shelter, she insists that she is a wolf–a lone wolf. After all, she’s not sweet, she’s not cute, and she is just fine on her own! Luckily, there’s one little girl at the shelter who knows that sometimes, good dogs act bad when they feel afraid and that extending a little kindness can help even the most wolfish pup at the pound let down her guard.
