Reviews

"This delightful book has the ring of a true classic, with a story and characters that children will truly love. A misfit ranch dog with a love for swimming and his frustrated owner learn the value of following your passion. Full of delightful illustrations that bring the story to life, and capture the imaginations of readers both young and old alike. A fantastic book, you really don't want to pass this one up!"
"I thought this was a great story with nice rhymes and unique illustrations. I love the lesson too- we all have passions and gifts- and the best way to use yours is to help people."
"This was a very cute book, with a lovely message, perfect for people of all ages, even grown up children, like me! Found on FreeBooksy, the art was lovely, as well..... and of course it would be a Border Collie: -)"
