A heartwarming little story about two adoptive age-gap sisters growing on each other through an adventure. 

 

Accompanied by lovely art with a cozy style, both the cover and the illustrations in each chapter. 

 

I only found it too stereotypical at times: 

- Cats are the enemies of dogs, especially stray cats. 

- An unnecessary remark about black cats bringing bad luck. 

- Labradors are meant to be brave. 

- A German Shepard who’s a retired police dog. 

- Rottweilers are aggressive. 

 

But hey, on a positive note, some disability rep: 

- One dog has a guide/service animal (a ferret) because of his aggression problems. (Well, he’s not showed to be aggressive, only says that his owners think so.) 

- Sydney has an intense fear of thunder and lightning, which goes as far as her needing to stim whenever it’s about to rain – in dog’s manner that’s digging up holes and burying objects.
