This is A sweet little story, very light and easy about a dog crazy girl and a dog crazy boy who finally get together. I can see the use of such books for kids who may be going through a stage of being dog crazy or boy crazy or both. There’s  a plug for adopting dogs rather than breeding them and the girl volunteers at a rescue center but otherwise, there’s not much to recommend. I would not discourage anyone from reading it and if they tell me they loved it I will be glad for them and be glad that I read it so we can really talk about it. It’s in our library because of a student recommendation. I hope they will eventually find some our other fabulous dog books that include a little historical fiction or other substantial content.
