@bibliofil
A delightful and funny picture book about a lonely little sausage dog who finally finds a friend.
A lonely dachshund dreams of having a friend but finds it hard to get along with other dogs. They seem to do nothing but run around in circles barking and sniffing each other's bottoms! Then, one day, an excitable poodle turns up on the doorstep...
Could this be the pal our pooch has been waiting for?
