Zoe and Alice are growing up surrounded by the dogs their parents rescue, so they already know how special it is to be loved by one. When a boy who doesn't speak moves to the neighborhood, the girls and one of the dogs help Phillip find his voice. MacLachlan's storytelling is strong, and canine characters are as well-developed as the humans are.
