Let's Get a Pup!

By Bob Graham

A characteristically warm and engaging family story.

One morning Kate bursts into her parents' bedroom. "Let's get a pup!" she cries. So they set off to the Rescue Centre - "The centre for dogs without a home. The centre for dogs all alone". There they see dogs of all shapes and sizes. Kate knows which one she wants, though, the moment she sees him. He's small and he's cute and he gets all excited. To Kate, Dave is everything a dog could be. But then she sees Rosy - what will they do?
