About this book
Tiney the spaniel enjoys the hearth rug, while Minnie prefers to bring him outside for games with a ball or stick. Madeline Leslie introduces this affectionate pet through daily life in the Lee household, including his uneasy relationship with the larger dog Leo. When the family discusses another trip away, Tiney's excited movements and changing mood lead Minnie and her parents to consider how much he understands.
Conversations about Tiney lead to anecdotes of other dogs, from an animal at a village inn who reacts to supper plans to Grim, an aged Arctic dog who finds ways to keep warm. The middle excerpt introduces a merchant whose dog tries to warn him about a forgotten bag of money. Humorous habits sit alongside more serious lessons about loyalty and human judgment. Readers can explore how an older children's story uses familiar pets to encourage close observation, sympathy and responsibility.
