Going to the park with her mother leads a young girl to a discovery that will change her life and open her heart. Lulu is playing in the park when she encounters a large dog wet and cold with no collar. After feeding her, getting her warm, and letting her spend the night the next day they set out in search of the owner.
Her search in town leads to a reunion, but will Lulu have the strength to give up her new friend? Or is there another option that is better for all concerned?
Lulu's New Fur Friend offers a heartwarming story of new friendships and the responsibility of caring for a pet. Richly textured illustrations pair with the rhyming story for read-aloud fun.
