Ted has
been in the Pet Shop waiting for a Forever Home for far too long and nobody
ever seems to notice him. Ted runs away; joins a circus; takes part in a pet
show; enrols as a guard dog but still no one notices him (not even the
burglars). Then, when he is walking along the city street feeling rejected and
unwanted, he sees a small girl putting up a flier asking for a companion dog
who will go for walks with her and play games and be part of her family. The
illustrations were created with paper, ink, pencil and glue and are full of the
sorts of small details most children will enjoy discovering each time they have the
story read to them
