The Poodle in the Puddle

By Dwight Nacaytuna and Susan Marks Weiner

Eight year old Samantha (Sammie) finds a wet, shivering poodle dog on her way home from school. The dog has no name tag or identification; so she takes the dog home and with the help of her father and mother she learns how to care for him. Sammie instantly falls in love with the little poodle all the while knowing he probably belongs to someone else. Sammie soon finds out how it feels to have conflicting emotions and what it means to do the right thing even though it is not to her liking. What do you think she does: keep the dog or find the real owner? What would you do if you found a Poodle in a Puddle?
