Book Cover & Preview Text
Hi! My name is Emma Lu. You can call me Emma. I have an amazing true story to tell you. I am a white dog with a very sweet face. I am a mixed breed of Shih Tzu and Maltese. My life began in a patch of woods along a busy highway. I was lonely with no friends to play with. I chased the squirrels, but they ran way up into the trees. I barked at the birds, but they flew away. I was sad. The woods were my only home. Oh, how I wished for a friend. The cars were always whizzing by, fast in both directions. I tried to cross the street once, but a fast car scared me and I turned to run. I tripped and fell down a small hill. OUCH! A branch scratched my left eye. I could not open my eye! OUCH!
