There is nothing not awesome about this book: Mister Bud and Zorro (the Pug!), the art Goodrich uses to bring their very realistic behavior to life, the storyline that attaches that behavior to emotions we all feel when we're in the same sorts of situations of change and acceptance.

For parents looking for a lovable way to explain change to their children (specifically new additions to the household), for owners of dogs that have abundant personalities, or for anyone who recognizes their own stubbornness, this book is a treasure.

Full disclosure: I'm a pug owner. I never stood a chance.
