This gentle story is perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a sweet narrative about responsibility, self-control, and the special bond between a pet and its owner.
Neither rain nor sleet nor curious passersby can move a very patient dog who has been told by his owner to wait, but then a cat comes along.
