Tracey is growing up. She has learned to become very responsible at home, at school, and in her everyday life. Tracey's Parents are very proud of her. Their neighborhood is full of dogs. They feel she now can have a dog of her own. And that is where I come in. My name is Angel. I am a handful...and I do not mean I get in trouble. I am literally only a handful in size. I am a Toy Poodle. My family is the very best; I work in the garden with my Dad; I wait patiently in the kitchen when Mother makes me doggie cookies, and Tracey is my very best friend. We do everything together. After a time, I am old enough to accompany Tracey to school. This story is about the adventures I get in with my best friends Tracey, Nancy Ann, and Sarah. And then there are my doggie friends. Oh yes, we do get into some situations. But at the same time, as the story unfolds, the reader learns how to show love, kindness, and responsibility towards raising a dog.
