Penny the Pibble

Book Cover & Preview Text
My new room at the shelter was better than the street, but it wasn't quite what I had been dreaming about. You see, I wanted a real family I could love and snuggle with all day long. The people who rescued me promised I would find a good home soon, although I heard them say I might be hard to adopt because of the way I look.
But then I waited... and waited... Lots of people came by to see me but they all looked and talked and wondered if I might be a Pibble. I did not know what a Pibble was, but you see, some people are afraid of dogs who are Pibbles because they are very strong and muscular. Our heads and jaws are large and people have heard that we are not very nice. Plus, my coat was black and I was not a puppy anymore.
