Overview

The heart-warming story of friendship and love between a young girl and a Pug named Raisin she rescues from the animal shelter. The story begins with Raisin purchased as a pup from the pet store. The family quickly loses interest in him when he has an accident in the house and seems unable to learn basic commands. He is kicked outside and tied to a post in the yard. He is then called the "DUMB-DOG." Raisin runs away in despair. His adventures land him under a car, in a shelter and finally in his forever home with his new best friend Karley. Karley trains Raisin who goes from "DUMB DOG" to a hero as a "tail waggin' tutor" helping children learn to read. Raisin develops a special bond with a young boy named David who is also called "DUMB DAVID" because he can't read like all the others. Find out how Karley manages to train a "DUMB-DOG" and how together they manage to become heros to other struggling kids. See how they learn that anything is possible with love, hard work, and someone who believes in you. This delightful story is written and photographed by 12 year-old Karley Cable and is based on her real-life experiences adopting her Pug Raisin and working as a volunteer with Therapy Dogs International.
