Descripción editorial
A dog who insists she's a wolf finds the perfect home with a young girl who sees past her prickly personality in this pet adoption story that's as laugh-out-loud funny as it is heart-tugging.
When a particularly growly pup finds herself in an animal shelter, she insists that she is a wolf--a lone wolf. After all, she's not sweet, she's not cute, and she is just fine on her own! Luckily, there's one little girl at the shelter who knows that sometimes, good dogs act bad when they feel afraid and that extending a little kindness can help even the most wolfish pup at the pound let down her guard.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A small, watermelon-shaped dog with two sharp fangs and prick ears barks like a ferocious wolf. But, judging by the amused expressions on the shelter workers' faces, she's not that scary. Prospective pet owners react differently to the wannabe wolf as she tries to prove herself unadoptable she tears up her bed ("I am not cute") and gobbles down her food ("I am not sweet"), then sits miserably in her enclosure, quietly insisting "I am a lone wolf." But readers will notice someone noticing her an exuberant girl in a tutu who kisses her and names her "Wolf." Debut creator Miller's boldly expressive cartoons show the varying temperaments of dogs and humans. Even the lone wolves of the world, her friendly story suggests, need love. Ages 4 8.
