Millie Biscuit: A Shelter's Dog Story

MILLIE BISCUIT: A Shelter Dog's Story By Karen Barber Blevins A heartwarming, true-life-inspired chapter book about one rescue dog and the surprising job she now has. Millie waited a long time to get picked. Black dogs, she'd heard, get overlooked at the shelter more than any other kind. But one adoption day, a young woman named Natalie stops at her kennel, and Millie's whole life changes in an instant. As Millie settles into her new home, she starts to notice things that don't quite add up: a dog bed too big for her, a worn spot by the back door, a name someone says out loud. When Natalie finally shares the story of Penny Lane, her first dog and first heartbreak, Millie understands. And she discovers the very special job Natalie has planned, one that will take her back to the shelter, again and again, to help other dogs find the same thing she found: somebody to pick them. Told entirely from Millie's point of view, this sweet and gently emotional story is perfect for young readers ages 8-11 who love animals, real-life-inspired stories, and books about kindness, rescue, and second chances. Includes real photos and a special note from Millie with facts about shelter dogs and how young readers can help. Perfect for: - Animal lovers and dog-obsessed kids - Young readers ready for their first "big feelings" chapter book - Classroom read-a-louds about kindness and empathy - Anyone who believes in adopt, don't shop Based on a true story.
