Inspired by a real dog from Danny & Ronâs Rescue from the popular documentary, Life in the Doghouse, this first book in a sweet chapter book series follows an old dachshund who forms an unlikely friendship with the boy in his new familyâa great fit for fans of Bruce Cameronâs Puppy Tales series
Elmer is a small dog with a big personality living at Danny and Ronâs rescue. He wants nothing more than for someone to become his forever family. But as an older dog with a floppy tongue that doesnât stay in his mouth, it seems like he never fits the familiesâ idea of the perfect pet.
Bennyâs family just moved (again), and what he wants are friends. So, when his parents announce they are getting a dog, heâs so excited to show it offâuntil they come home with a funny-looking older dachshund. To make matters worse, his parents have signed them up for a pet training course that will end with a big talent show in front of a crowd of strangers.
Thrown together, Elmer and Benny learn that the perfect best friend might be different than they imaginedâbut even better than theyâd hoped.
