Sweet story about a dog and the dog's best friend Mike who play together all the time. When Mike finds out that Pugdog is a girl, not a boy, all of a sudden he takes her to the groomers and restricts her diet and won't let her play at the park, etc. Eventually, Pugdog is so sad she doesn't want to do anything but lay in bed. 

A great message on being yourself and not letting sexism or stereotypes rule your life. This could open up some great discussions about prejudging others and how everyone should be allowed to live their best life.

TBH, I picked this up because of the ridiculous list put together by a radical senator from Texas who wants to control what children read. I stand unabashedly and always for the freedom to read so I've made a point of picking up as many books from that list as possible, reading them, reviewing them, and sharing them as widely as possible. :)
