- What a sweet story told by a woman how obviously loves her pet so very much.
Here’s a brief summary:
This is the story of a dog (a dachshund) who is disabled. She didn’t start out that way though. She was injured and now travels on a set of wheels – a doggie wheelchair. The book shares a message of hope and teaches adults and children alike about overcoming challenges that we face each day and to have compassion for those that are different than we are.
I’ve really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to share it with my girls. They’ve flipped through it a couple of times and wondered about some of the illustrations – like the one where it looks like there is pee on the floor!
This is a story of sadness, pain and suffering. This is a story of doggy surgery and physical therapy (including some pretty funny comments). All told from Frankie’s point of view. (Frankie is the Tweenie Weenie.) When the physical therapy doesn’t work, they find another way for Frankie to walk again.
This is a story of triumph, joy and accomplishments! As the little dog recovers and learns to use her wheels, you can read the joy in the author’s “voice”. The success of not giving up is an incredible message that Frankie and Barb get across in a very effective manner.
Frankie even has her own blog! Check it out here! You can find out where to purchase this great book here.
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion!
