Children's early reader.  Jose wants to get a dog.  When his dad says today is the day, he is very excited.  At the shelter, there were dogs of all shapes and sizes, but Jose found the right dog when it smiled back at him.  After naming the happy dog Feliz, Jose tried to do tricks with him.  But Feliz didn't respond to his commands.  When Feliz heard the word "cookie" he got all excited, and Jose realized his dog did know some words, just not in Spanish!  This book is in English with Spanish words and phrases sprinkled throughout.  Many are immediately translated but there is a glossary at the end.
