Secondhand Dogs by Carolyn Crimi
But when a new dog, Decker, arrives and tries to hoard Miss Lotties heart and home for himself, the packs future is threatened. At first, Gus, the insecure pack leader, only notices little things, like tiny Moon Pie being kicked out of the bed and Ghost acting spooked (then againGhost is a cat).
"Pervading themes of bullying, leadership, loyalty, and family—among humans and canines alike—raise important issues while the comic-style illustrations feature character cameos and highlight key scenesA sensitive, satisfying, and intriguing canine tale" — Kirkus Reviews "The light tension and heartwarming message will propel middle graders through to the very end." — School Library Journal “A timely and big-hearted reminder of what’s most important in life for all creatures, whether two- or four-legged” — Kirby Larson, Newbery Honor Award-winning author of Hattie Big Sky "A perfect book for dog lovers to see how a true pack is run with every member's well-being in mind. Gus is a wonderful (dog) role model for all kids to learn about good leadership skills and, more importantly, the strength that comes from showing empathy." — Cammie McGovern, author of Just My Luck
