It will take a hard heart indeed to resist this story of a sweet-natured hound who finally finds the owner he deserves." —Publishers Weekly

cover Piper

written and illustrated by Emma Chichester Clark

Piper is a gentle dog, courageous and anxious to please. His mother told him to always obey his master, and he does his best to follow her advice. But when his grim new master treats Piper badly, he is terrified and runs away. Will his humble, quiet courage be better appreciated in the big city?
