Bookroo's summary

In a world where gruffness spreads from person to person, a little dog becomes the unexpected hero. With a wag of its tail, it starts a chain reaction of happiness, challenging the cycle of anger. Can this small act of joy transform an entire community? Discover how one dog's simple gesture can change hearts and inspire emotional growth.

From the publisher

‘Gruffness and anger is passed along from person to person until a little dog starts a chain of happiness that reverses the trend. [A] pleasant picture book [that touches on] emotional maturity.’ –ALA Children’s Services Division.
