Bookroo's summary

In Strictville, where cuteness is a crime, chaos erupts when hundreds of puppies invade. The town is in turmoil, but young Teddy dares to defy the rules. As he reaches out to the tiniest puppy, will his courage be enough to transform the town's rigid ways? Discover how one boy's bravery might just bring joy to a place that has forgotten how to smile. Can Teddy's simple act of kindness turn the tide against Strictville's harsh laws?

From the publisher

What’s a town to do when not one, not two, but hundreds of adorable, wriggling puppies invade? This is especially a problem in Strictville, where no one has ever seen puppies before. And where there are rules against such things. In fact, cuteness of any kind is considered downright criminal. But one boy is brave enough to face the adorable doggies, and he just may turn things around for this narrow-minded town. A true treat for the funny bone!
