When shelter dog Frankie arrives at his new home, he finds that all of the toys belong to the other dog in the house, Nico, but they soon find a way to share.

Book Synopsis

Frankie is EXCITED! A new home? A new bed? A new ball? But wait. Nico is already here. Nico's home. Nico's bed. Nico's ball. Sharing is hard . . . Will Frankie find a place here too? The latest book from the Geisel Honor-winning author-illustrator Mary Sullivan features not one but two adorable pups with big personalites as they struggle to get along and find their places in the pack. At turns humorous and heartfelt, it appears that man isn't dog's only best friend when there is another dog to play with . . .
