Bookroo's summary

Lily, a once-stray rescue dog, now has a mission: to help animals in need. When a baby donkey is repeatedly rejected by its herd, no one knows why. With her keen instincts and compassionate heart, Lily steps in to uncover the mystery. Can she help the misfit donkey find its place and acceptance among the older donkeys? Join Lily and her girl, Maggie Rose, as they embark on a heartwarming adventure of friendship and belonging. It's a tale of courage and kindness, where one dog's purpose is to bring hope to those who feel out of place.
