This just-released picture book features a new kind of hero:
Maybe I'm not the
hero type. But I can dream. Sometimes I dream I'm a rescue dog, saving a child
lost in the woods. Or a guide dog, helping a person who cannot see. Or a police
dog, tracking sneaky robbers. But when I wake up, I must face the truth. It's
mostly big dogs who do those jobs. And I'm just Barnaby, a small mutt living in
an animal shelter
Barnaby has big
dreams, but he finds his true calling when he's adopted into a loving home and
becomes a bedbug-sniffing dog—helping to find hidden bedbugs in hotels, on
airplanes, in movie theaters, and even in people's homes!
Turn
to the last page of the book to meet an adorable, REAL-LIFE bedbug detective,
Bernie!
