A touching tale of love and loss illustrated by Max Rambaldi.
Millie has always wanted a dog, but when her grandmother passes away, she finds herself scared of letting anyone (or any dog) in. Can her dads help her find the perfect pup to teach her to love again?

Ian Eagleton standing next to Mariah Carey!
Still kicking myself that I didn’t say to Mariah, “I’ll get my agent to call your agent!” 🤣 when she said, “I know this book! It would make an amazing movie!”
Instead I just grinned inanely and said, “Thanks! Thank…you…erm…THANKS!”
Never mind! 🤣
