Bookroo's summary

Rosie receives a sheepdog puppy that doesn't fit the farm's mold—too friendly to herd sheep. When she hears her parents call her their 'little mistake,' the puppy shows her that some mistakes lead to unexpected belonging. In this heartwarming tale, Rosie discovers that being different can be a gift, not a flaw. Will she find her place in a world that values conformity? This story explores identity and acceptance through the bond between a girl and her unique dog, set against the backdrop of rural life.
