I came across this story while looking for other childrens' books..We are big dog lovers in our family and I just had to read it for myself...Which I sometimes screen to see if they are appropriate before reading them to my niece...The narrator of the entire story is "Popsie" as she tells her sad tale of what it's like not being loved and  mistreated by a family..Leaving her out in the cold rain, being starved, not combing her hair and letting her get fleas..She finally decides to run away from home...Will the nice policeman save "Popsie"..It shows children what happens at an animal shelter and you get to see if "Popsie" ever gets adopted...This is an excellent story that teaches your child that if you want a pupppy or a dog, you must be ready to treat them with love and care..It teaches the  reponsiblities that comes with owning a pet...When you get bored they are not throw aways...The next time your child sees a homeless dog wandering around on the street and asks you questions...This book is gentle, sweet way to give them answers on why this poor dog doesn't have a home...A dog is "man's best friend" and they always give people unconditional love and they deserve it in return....I think this should be required reading for all children before you buy them a pet..My niece just told me she wants to read more stories of "Popsie" her favorite dog..So, we will be waiting for next in the series.
