Bookroo's summary

Webster, a cynical shelter dog, vows to stay aloof and avoid attachments. Despite the cozy shelter and tempting friendships with Jack the Terrier and Florence the cat, he dreams of a solitary life. But as his plans to escape unfold, Webster faces an unexpected challenge: the possibility of finding a true home and family. Will he let down his guard and embrace the warmth of companionship, or will his cowboy dreams lead him astray? Discover if this tough pup's heart can be won over in a tale of humor and friendship.

From the publisher

A cynical shelter dog learns to let down his guard and form a new animal family in this heartwarming and humorous friendship story from the author of Santa Paws. Webster is too cool to be scared. Or alarmed. Or even a tiny bit nervous. So what if no one will adopt him? He’s had it with people anyway. He’s going to be a loner. Not going to get too comfortable in this new shelter, even if the home-baked treats are good. Not going to get used to the nice soft bed. Not going to make friends, no matter how much he kind of likes Jack the Terrier and even Florence the bossy cat. Nope, he doesn’t need friends. Acquaintances are just fine. And the first chance he gets, he’s hitting the road and living life on the range, just like one of the stoic cowboys he’s decided to model himself after. But sometimes the best-laid plans (even those of a dog’s) have a way of backfiring. Will a tough pup like Webster find a home and family after all?
