Barroux.
A little girl brings Lucy, a white dog with a black circle around one eye, home from the pound, but the dog will not stop howling--until Lucy collects a family of her owner's stuffed animals to share her bed. In small handwritten font, Lucy's howls ("wah-ooo-ooo-roo") fill many of the illustrations, conveying the magnitude of her sadness in this simple, satisfying story.
