About This Book

Charles and Lizzie are excited to take care of a Portuguese water dog. But when the poor pooch has trouble living without its former owner, Lizzie needs to use all of her puppy knowledge to find the perfect home for this pup.

Series Information

With strong dog facts and helpful puppy tips included in every book, this series is not only fun to read but a great resource for prospective or current junior dog owners!

Note from author Ellen Miles:

Every puppy is different. The fun part about writing The Puppy Place is putting those distinct personalities front and center, really treating the dogs as primary characters. I love getting to know each puppy the Petersons foster, and I hope readers do, too.
