Book two

The Dog That Didn't Bark at First


The Dog That Didn't Bark at First is a children's easy reader book about a beagle named Buttons that was "cute as a button," but was different from other beagles because he didn't use his energy barking, chasing, wagging, fidgeting, or perking his ears until his owner brought home a beagle named Clover that got Buttons' tail wagging.

Buttons needed someone to push the right button to get him moving. He was lucky to have Clover. A heartwarming tale of natural instincts, unexpected friendship, and the spark that gets us moving.
