A young African American girl receives a puppy. The love between the girl and the dog grows as the girl gets older. The girl's mother is in the military and they have to move and leave the dog with someone else. Will they ever be reunited again?

I really enjoyed the beautiful message and pictures in this book. There are very few words but the words are very powerful. The message of the book comes from this line, "love through changes makes love grow. The author actually went through a similar experience and that is why she wrote the book.
