Bonding with Freddie! Dorothy Scott Edd

A deep, from the heart, look at how bonding with an adopted elder, shelter dog took two years! This picture book, done through rhyme, shares Freddie's struggle to bond with Dorothy in his new, forever home. Having been found on the streets, possibly abandoned or lost, and in dire need of healthcare, Freddie was reluctant to give his heart to anyone. Then after more than a month's stay in the dog shelter, Freddie became aloof and distant when Dorothy adopted him. What would it take to win Freddie's heart? This heartfelt story is the perfect gift to give to children and parents, especially foster and adoptive children and parents. It appeals to a sense of empathy and leads to healthy discussions about feelings of abandonment and foster and adoptive issues for both the adoptee and the adoptive family.
