Bookroo's summary
Dumpling, a dog with boundless enthusiasm but no sense of smell, struggles to make friends. Lonely and isolated, her life changes when she moves to the country. There, she faces a choice: remain obedient or forge an unexpected friendship with a skunk. Will Dumpling find her place in a world where she can't sniff out the usual joys? This tale of loyalty and unlikely bonds promises laughter and heartwarming moments, as Dumpling discovers that friendship sometimes comes in the most surprising forms.
From the publisher
Dumpling is a dog of enormous enthusiasm, excellent obedience skills - and no sense of smell. She doesn’t care about flowers, garbage, or any of the other smelly things most dogs enjoy. As a result, Dumpling has no dog friends. With a useless nose, she can’t relate. Dumpling is lonely . . . until she and her people move to the country. And then the good dog has to choose between obedience and friendship - with a skunk!Ridiculous, touching, and a little bit disgusting, Skunkdog, with its lively storytelling and comic pictures, will spark conversations and giggles.
