 Maggie owns a darling West Highland Terrier named Harvey. Maggie has decided to volunteer at Brayside and to give friendship with Austin a chance. She realizes how much Austin wants a dog of his own. Austin takes Harvey for a walk and they discover an abandoned puppy, all helpless and near death. Austin bring the puppy to the animal shelter where he knows it will be taken care of until it is old enough to be adopted. Maggie loves her volunteer time at Brayside and makes friends with the old people. What a heartwarming, delightful story with darling illustrations. 

This is a superb sequel to Harvey Comes Home. I loved this book, too and the stories of Maggie, Austin, the residents of Brayside and of the dogs. I kept reading so I could find out about several things, including the puppy Austin found. There are great human interest stories in these books. Some of the characters are even based on real people. If you just start this book, you are sure to love it. I couldn't put it down and was delighted when I finished. I hope this author will write more books about Austin, Harvey and Maggie.
