Pudge!

When PUDGE the pug is adopted by Robert and Renee from the animal shelter, he isn't excited about their desire for him to become a therapy dog. PUDGE doesn't want to help others and he resists his subsequent training in every way possible. He believes that he is the one who needs therapy!

Written for children and their adults, the subtle theme of struggling with and persevering through challenges is gently presented. Although PUDGE is reluctant at first, his curiosity and Robert and Renee's persistence help him to overcome his fears. This charming book is the second in The NUDGE Series - because sometimes we just need a nudge!
