Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet or when you want to discuss the difference between seeing animals as tools versus seeing them as members of the family. It is a gentle, classic story that helps children understand that while many people value dogs for the jobs they can do, the most important role a pet plays is that of a loyal companion. The story follows Mr. Mullin as he finds homes for twelve puppies. Each person who stops by has a specific task in mind: a sheepdog for a farmer, a guard dog for a warehouse, or a circus performer. Finally, a young boy arrives who simply wants a friend to love. This book is perfect for children ages 4 to 8, offering a wonderful jumping-off point for conversations about empathy, responsibility, and the value of unconditional friendship.
