Doggies Don't Wear Sweaters

About the Book

This is a story about Brooklyn Mashelle Larke. She is a silver-grey Yorkie Poo, who thinks she is a person. (I wonder whose fault that is, smile!) A pretty little silver Yorkie Poo doggie named Brooklyn lived with her mother in a big house. Brooklyn did not have any sisters or brothers, but she was never lonely. Brooklyn had a soft, beautiful bed to sleep in and lots of toys. She bounced and ran around the house, laughing and playing with her toys every day. Every evening and on the weekends, Brooklyn’s mother would take her for a walk in the big park near their home. Brooklyn loved walking and playing with her friends in the park. One of Brooklyn’s favorite things to do was to wear pretty sweaters. Brooklyn’s mother bought her sweaters of all colors with beautiful designs—red, blue, green, orange, purple, silver.
