The puppy was small and fuzzy, with a friendly, wagging tail--but Ricky was afraid of him. Every time Ricky's mom feeds the cats, the little dog comes running. The cats aren't sharing their food, however, and the poor puppy is slowly starving. If Ricky doesn't overcome his fear, the little puppy may die--but if he lets himself get close enough to feed it, he may find the best friend he's ever had. 2 cassettes.

When the pup shows up at the farm, small and fuzzy with a floppy wet tongue and a bushy tail that's always wagging, no one knows where he's from. Motherless and hungry, he needs to be fed or he'll starve to death. Most boys would welcome such a dog into their lives; feed it and train it and raise it to be a good farm pet. But Ricky's different. Ever since he was attacked as a baby by a mad dog, he's been afraid of them. This is an unforgettable adventure story about the trust that grows between a boy and a mongrel.
