Inspired by real dogs from Danny & Ron's Rescue from the popular documentary, Life in the Doghouse, this third book in a sweet chapter book series follows a pair of pups hoping to find a new home together.
Millie and Daisy are two bonded dogs who've been through a lifetime of ups and downs together. Finally finding safety at Danny & Ron's Rescue, Millie settles in easily, while Daisy still feels anxious, especially during thunderstorms.
A big adoption event for the rescue dogs is coming up, and Millie can't wait. She wants to convince a family to take both her and Daisy together, so she comes up with a plan to make them stand out. Daisy's not so sure she wants to be adopted though and thinks that while adoption may be right for Millie, living at the rescue is what's right for her. But Daisy doesn't like the thought of being apart from Millie, and she doesn't want to ruin Millie's dreams.
As the big day arrives, will Millie and Daisy be able to find the right solution for both of them? Or does finding their perfect forever homes mean saying goodbye to each other?
