Mutt's Promise

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Jill Weber. After a happy beginning at a farm with the son of migrant farm workers, two puppies search for their purpose. The journey takes them to a puppy mill from which they escape, to a pet rescue, and eventually to an animal trainer who fosters their special talents. Some coincidences and unrealistic dog behavior mar this otherwise engaging middle-grade novel.
