Ten-year-old Paul doesn’t wish for much, just to be able to run fast and be accepted at school as an equal. Always picked last for outside games, Paul is sad and hopeless. After saying his prayers one night, he adds a special request: to be as fast as his dog, Rusty.

The next morning, something strange happens. Paul realizes he has switched places with Rusty! Now in a dog’s body, he can run faster than he ever imagined. And his beloved Rusty has now taken his place as a young boy!

 How could this have possibly happened, and how can it be fixed? A Dog’s Nose Knows is a wonderful tale about the unbreakable bond between a boy and his dog.
