The Good Dog

by Todd Kessler, Jennifer Gray Olson (Illustrator)

Overview

Join Tako on an adventure as he makes a brave choice and proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes

When little Ricky Lee finds a puppy on the side of the road, he takes him home and names him Tako. Ricky's parents say that they will allow Tako to stay only if he is a good dog and follows the rules—or it's off to the pound he goes!

Tako wants more than anything to be a good dog and stay with Ricky, but when greedy Mr. Prichard hatches a plan to put the Lee family's bakery out of business, Tako has to break the rules to protect his new family. Will he be able to spoil Mr. Prichard's plan and be a hero, or will he end up in the pound?
