This adorable children's book written by Bernadette Peters is one you don't want to pass up. You can pick one up at any bookstore and they are a MUST HAVE for all dog lovers. The book takes place in Central Park in New York City where a lonely dog is waiting to be found. The dog remembers being taken for walks, given dinner, and told he was a good dog. Once he was called a name as a matter of fact a wonderful name. Douglas was his name and his family adored him but now nobody knows his name.
Everything changes the day Douglas meets someone who sees his potential. Soon he's meeting stars and even going onstage himself...but will anyone in the audience want to adopt him and be his friend?
The illustrations are just adorable and the story line is precious!!! I didn't realize Bernadette Peters devotes her spare time to rescuing homeless dogs and cats. By the way Broadway Barks is a pet adopt-a-thon that has been held every year in New York City since 1998, when it was founded by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore. Each summer, members of the Broadway acting community gather in the heart of New York's theater district to offer for adoption dogs and cats from local shelters. The event raises funds to help animal shelters and fosters awareness of the importance of caring for all the animals we keep as pets. The super cool thing about this book is all royalties from the sale of it are donated to "Broadway Barks".
