Enjoy a walk with Little Tank, the curious basset puppy, and his dachshund buddy Topo. Looking for adventure and new friends, the puppies meet the people who live and work in their neighborhood, but no dogs. Then at the end of the walk, they find a wonderful surprise.
Dog lovers of all ages will recognize their own canine pals in these two lively puppies. The story is told in rhyme, with bright watercolor illustrations on every page, including a map of the neighborhood, where you can trace the puppies' travels.
And don't miss the Bonus! At the back of the book, Playmates for Puppies includes a veterinarian- and dog-trainer-approved guide to "Dog Park Etiquette" - a page of tips to help dogs and their people safely enjoy their visits to off-leash dog parks.
You'll find more stories about Tank and some of his pals - feisty Fluffy and guard dogs Rocky and Ready - in Three Tales, Four Dogs, also by Roz Silva and Sue Ann Erickson.
