Ryan loves dogs. When his neighbor Mrs. Woodbridge adopts a rescue puppy, he’s super excited to play with the new pup. They play every day after school. And when Mrs. Woodbridge has to go out of town, she asks Ryan if he will take care of the puppy for her. Ryan says yes—but taking care of a dog all by himself is a lot harder than just playing. Eventually, Ryan learns the responsibility to care for the puppy, even if he faces lots of challenges along the way.

Based on the author’s experience interning with a veterinarian and taking care of her own dog, A Puppy Jubilee also contains great tips for dog care and safety!
