An eight-year-old girl has to give up her dream of a puppy and take in a relative's dog.

A great book for telling the message that it doesn't matter the age of a dog, they are still going to be the best pet they can be(with the proper care and training), the book really has a unique message most books about dogs don't tend to have, an old dog can still be a lovable dogs.

I think this book does a fairly good job of showing how the loss of a loved one effects people differently and some merits of grief counseling. However, overall I just felt like this was a bit boring and lacking more substance.

Two years after her sister Mog's murder by a car thief, Annie finds herself graduating from high school and about to embark on paths her sister never got to travel. Her fears about the future compound her bereavement and she begins seeing a therapist. Complicating her progress is the fact that she is falling for Mog's ex-boyfriend and he for her.
