This sweet and hilarious doggy adoption tale features a pooch wearing—wait for it—bright yellow shoes.
 
When Mini finds a small moppet of a dog, with fluffy ears, no collar, and wearing yellow booties, she understandably wants to take it home. Despite Mom's insistence that the dog probably already has a family, Mini gets attached and is awfully proud of her new pal, who can sing, sit, and give both paws. But when the pup runs off one day at the park, Mini comes to understand how someone else out there might be missing the little guy too.
 
This story, by a debut author/illustrator, perfectly captures the undeniable bond between dog and owner.

"A charming tale of compassion and empathy, with a resonant message about getting your new best friend at the animal shelter." —Patrick McDonnell, creator of MUTTS

"Immensely funny.... Comedic pacing and simultaneously scrupulous and silly artwork will leave readers howling." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1—When Mini and her mother are driving home one day, they come across a lost dog. Though her mother points out that the dog's yellow shoes mean he probably has an owner who misses him, the young girl is determined to keep him. But after the dog runs off again, Mini realizes that she needs to track down his real family. The book ends on a happy note, however, with Mini learning a lesson about responsible pet ownership. Rendered in pencil, with splashes of color added digitally (the yellow of the shoes, the red of a leash), the black-and-white illustrations are immensely appealing. With exaggerated bug-eyed, wide-grinned expressions, Mini is wonderfully endearing, while the dog, a long-nosed little bundle of energy, will have children clamoring for their own canine companion (the appended tips on dog adoption may come in handy). This is a gently told, familiar story, though certainly one that will readily find an audience, but the visuals save it from becoming humdrum. Ko makes excellent use of shading, with detailed and sophisticated results, from the traffic jam in the opening spread to Mini's living room. Infused with movement and life, these illustrations will have kids and adults alike enthralled. VERDICT A lovely, if slightly predictable, pet story.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal

I did not buy this book for myself. My granddaughter’s teacher in Wyoming had it on her wishlist. She was trying to get a book gifted from every state and I live in Michigan. In a few weeks I will visit and maybe I’ll be able to see the book. I picked this book because it was about adopting rescue dogs and that’s something I believe in.

I usually don't review books, but this children's book is delightful. I've purchased it 3 times, and plan on having it on stock for when I need a quick child's gift. The illustrations are priceless, especially those of the little girl's face in the book, and there's a wonderful moral to the story at the end. If you like dogs, and the idea of adopting a shelter dog this is the perfect book to introduce a child to the concept. The children I've given it to range from 2 to 6, and each parent has told me how much their child loves the book, and how it's one of the few books they never tire of reading to their kids. I actually think it would be a wonderful book to give to an adult who loves dogs, works with dogs or is planning on getting one. Very sweet story.

This is my daughter's favorite book and I love it too. We checked it out of the library so many times that we weren't allowed to check it out anymore. Glad we got our own copy! Wish the author would write and illustrate another book.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is such a cute picture book
Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2016
Cute illustrations compliment this sweet story about adoption, and the joys a dog can bring to their owner. It wasn't hard to fall in love with a cute dog who wears yellow shoes. We loved that Mini took great care of the lost pup. Even though Mini loved the dog she found, and wanted to keep him, she did the right thing in taking care of him, and finding his owner. Mini's story ends just happily as the pup who wears yellow shoes. She adopts a beloved dog of her own. Now she too has a furry best friend, and has given a sweet dog a forever home.

This is such a cute picture book. Ko captures the bond dogs and their owners have, perfectly. We loved that this book is inspired by a true story. Also found at the end of this book is information on adopting a dog, and shelters where you can go to adopt them.
