The Monster Dog - Life's Lessons Learned

Book excerpt: Tasse, a small Shih Tzu with a BIG attitude, has gotten herself into many troublesome situations. Much like a young child, she sometimes does not know how to solve these problems. She shares what she learned from her problems In The Monster Dog - Life's Lessons Learned. Tasse learns a really hard lesson when she sneaks out of her yard, gets lost, and meets Sport. She wants to go home, but he says, "Come with me, and let me show you some real fun." She confesses she really didn't want to, but "I wanted him to like me and I wanted him to be my friend." So, they went on down the street together. "Watch this!" he says as he knocks over a garbage can. A lady comes rushing out and Sport runs away leaving Tasse lost and scared and all alone. She determines that "from now on I will listen to my conscience and be more careful who I choose to be my friend."The thirteen stories in the book will delight children. They will help parents and teachers guide children in being welcoming, the consequences of being sneaky, gaining attention the right way, and learning about forgiveness. Beautifully illustrated, artist Katie Hunderosse, has created special pictures that enhance each story. Tasse freely admits that sometimes she just didn't know what to do. Children, parents, and teachers will enjoy what The Monster Dog learned about life's lessons.
