About This Book
ZOE'S FAMILY RESCUES DOGS IN NEED. There is always the sweet smell of dog and a warm body looking to cuddle or play. There is always a new dog to be saved, and loved. Fur flies everywhere. It covers everything. Zoe's house is never silent.
The house across the stream is always silent these days. A new family has moved in, and Phillip, the boy, has stopped speaking. He doesn't even want to try.
Saving dogs and saving boys may be different jobs, but Zoe learns that some parts arc the same. Each takes attention and care. Each takes understanding and time. And it might just take a bit of white fur flying to help Phillip find his voice again.
