ABOUT THE BOOK
A heartwarming tale about a dog that makes his way from the streets to a new home, discovering the true meaning of family and friendship along the way. It’s a tough life for a dog living on the streets. It’s no picnic having to fight for scraps, and no fun trying to find a dry spot to rest your head. But even in the darkest of times, Garbage Dog keeps his spirits up and looks after his animal friends. Gorgeously illustrated and written in humorous rhyme, Garbage Dog is a sweet tale about kindness and what it means to be a true friend.

  • A sweet tale that shows how kindness and sympathy is something that we create, no matter the cruel environment in which we live in.
  • The book offers ways for parents to initiate conversations with their children about homelessness, neglect and fear.
  • Many animal shelters offer to take out their dogs for a walk on the weekends — a fun activity for children to play with dogs and to learn taking over responsibility.
