Book excerpt: Truman is an American bulldog. He's two years old, and he lives in a shelter. They're very kind to him, and they keep him fed and clean, but no one has time to play with him or love him. Then one day a family comes to the shelter, and they decide to take Truman home with them! There, he meets Moon Shadow, a beautiful snow-white Siberian husky who loves her family and is friends with many different animals. Truman is very shy and doesn't trust animals or people just yet. But with Moon Shadow's help and his new family's love and patience, Truman slowly learns how to play, how to have fun, and how to be friends with others. In this children's tale, based on a true story, two dogs get to know each other and show how trust and respect grows when kindness is shown through patience.
