Welcome the new year by enjoying the entertaining adventures of The Year of the Dog! Born on New Year's Day, the puppy Daniel explores the world with Lin the little girl next door, and learns how to become "man's best friend." Growing up is full of confusions, as Daniel and Lin soon share colorful surprises, adventures­and misadventures, too. Being a good dog takes practice, as Daniel realizes when he barks up the wrong tree! Can Daniel prove his loyalty and dependability by helping Lin when she needs him the most? Daniel's rollicking journey to discover his true nature will delight children and adults alike - especially new parents, those interested in Asian culture, and dog lovers. First in the annual series Tales of the Chinese Zodiac, The Year of the Dog will introduce each of the twelve charismatic animals from the Chinese lunar calendar.
