White Fur Flying
WHITE FUR FLYING by Patricia MacLachlan. McElderry Books, 2013.
Zoe and her family rescue dogs, mostly big dogs, especially Great Pyrenees. That means that a trip into the house means visitors will encounter lots of fur and mountainous mounds of dogs. Zoe loves the dogs and her family. When a family moves into the empty house next door, the dogs are among the first to greet the silent young boy who moves in with them. Phillip seems to connect immediately to dogs, but is still quiet among the humans in his life. Can a dog change Phillip's life? This slender chapter book contains warm humor, caring families, and a heaping helping of canine capers. too.
