Bookroo's summary
Kristine swears off pets after losing her cherished horse, Dandy. Her father's unexpected gift of a lively puppy on her birthday only fuels her anger, especially with a new sibling on the way. Yet, the puppy's innocent eyes and boundless affection begin to melt her defenses. Can Kristine open her heart to love again, or will she remain guarded against the pain of loss? This heartwarming tale explores the healing power of companionship and the courage to embrace new beginnings.
From the publisher
After losing Dandy, her family’s beloved horse, Kristine decides that she will never get close to another pet again. It’s just too heartbreaking. So when her father surprises her with a new puppy for her birthday, Kristine is furious! With a new sister on the way, who need a wriggling, messy, noisy yellow ball of fur to look after? But how can an animal-loving girl resist the sweet brown eyes of a puppy that just wants to be loved?
