Louie is one special dog. His tongue likes to hang out of his mouth, and his extra-long legs make him pretty clumsy. Still, Louie dreams of being a champion dog like his brothers. Louie spends most of his time playing with his favorite toy--his ball. He can bounce it and toss it, and soon he hopes to balance on it.
This story of a special dog was inspired by a very real rescue dog that captured Finney's heart and imagination. Through Finney's masterful and infectiously cheerful paintings, Louie teaches kids to celebrate their strengths and to never give up their dreams. Full color.
