About the Author
From the Publisher

“Sure to win the hearts of dog-lovers…”

Arfy is a homeless mutt who lives in a box in an alley. Arfy writes to every person on Butternut Street about what a great pet he’d make. His letters to prospective owners share that he’s house broken! He has his own squeaky bone! He can learn to live with cats! But, no one wants him. Won’t anyone open their heart–and home–to a lonesome dog? Readers will be happily surprised to learn just who steps up to adopt Arfy.
Troy Cummings’s hilarious and touching story is a perfect gift for a child wanting a dog, and for pet adoption advocates. It also showcases many different styles of letter writing, making it appealing to parents and teachers looking to teach the lost art of written communication.

Cute Series
As a teacher, I liked how The letters were written with clues. The children liked figuring out who the letters were from. Cute story!

GREAT BOOK!
This was the first book we purchased about this dog. Then we got the entire series because they are so amazing. I would recommend getting all of them. Very heart warming and cute series. If you like these books, then you will probably like “The Squeaky Wheel” by Ziba and Farzin Forooghian. Would recommend that as well.
