Dexter the Dachshund (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798993391533)

Dexter is a sassy and stubborn miniature dachshund whose colorful, fluffy coat makes him special. But when he finds out it isn't special enough for him to be a fancy show dog, Dexter sets out to prove he's blue-ribbon worthy.

Dexter knows he is adorable. After all, isn't that why Shelby chose to adopt him over other dachshunds? But when his new veterinarian says he doesn't have what it takes to be a show dog in a magazine, Dexter sets out to prove Dr. Rosie is wrong.

From toy mishaps to play dates gone bad, Dexter's adventures get him into bigger and bigger trouble. When a scuffle costs him an eye, he begins to lose faith in his show dog dream--until Shelby's love helps him realize there's more to being a show dog than how he looks.

Dexter the Dachshund is a heartwarming true story of resilience, unconditional love, and the power of our imperfections that perfectly captures the dachshund spirit for young readers.
