This lyrical tale of my daughter's yearning for a dog was first published by the Feminist Press in 1972. The NYTimes singled it out in a round-up of "feminist" titles for kids as being an authentic and convincing story. Canine behavior expert Sue Sternberg, who gives help to pet owners on National Public Radio says its her story, too.

Now beautifully re-illustrated in full color by Jane Manning, everyone, regardless of his or her age, who ever longed for a dog will know I really understand just how it feels.
