Brave Little Pup!

My family loved this story of a brave little puppy that Had his first doctors appointment. The cute play on a very real type of structure for a doctors appointment helped make it more relatable for my kids. The narrator brought the characters to life in this very cute, and also helpful, story! I appreciated the tips for parents at the end of the story, and my boys enjoyed learning about service dogs too!
