This is the dog with the snuffly snout, the half-crumpled ear, the fur that sticks out.

A lonely little pup waits each day for a family to pick him, yes him, to take home... but no one ever does. When the latch to his kennel is left open, he undertakes a tour of the township... will it lead him to his forever home?

Ruth's Review:

This is the dog
with the snuffly snout,
The half-crumpled ear,
The fur that sticks out.
