Boys Over Flowers, Vol. 21 by Yoko Kamio

Sonnie and the Pink Collar, a story about friendship and acceptance, tells the heartwarming tale of Sonnie, whom children see as a rough and tough muscular dog, and her friend, Tucker, whom children see as a big teddy bear. Sonnie grapples with being misjudged as a dog that children should not get near because of how it looks.

Being ignored makes Sonnie feel sad as she watches Tucker get all the attention. When Tucker learns that Sonnie feels neglected, he embarks on a mission for children to see Sonnie differently, hoping it will cheer up his doggie friend. Through humorous attempts to recommend that Sonnie wear a pink tutu, a hat adorned with daisies, and even pink boots, Tucker finally lands on an idea that Sonnie loves.

Tucker's creative solution not only attracts children to Sonnie, it also gives her that much-needed self-confidence. Sonnie and the Pink Collar emphasizes the importance of feeling accepted and the power of true friendship.
