An abandoned fawn finds a nurturing companion when she is introduced to Great Dane Kate. Despite never having puppies of her own, Kate takes to surrogate mothering immediately, and Pippin thrives under her care. This book's draw are the close-up photographs that accompany the unremarkable text. The pictures capture this touching inter-species bond and chronicle the fawn's growth to adulthood.
