Description: As if bathtub floods, chewed homework, and accidents on the floor weren't enough! Being saddled with so much responsibility for bringing up Beauty only adds insult to injury. With a flapjack tongue and oversized feet, this is the ugliest puppy Elizabeth has ever seen. It will be easy to resist loving her. And since Beauty is only staying until she can be trained as a guide dog, there is no room for love in this relationship... At the age of twelve, with busy parents, a sister who's too cool for words, and two best friends suddenly dating each other, Elizabeth could use a little unconditional love.

One of my all-time favourite books. It is the story of a young girl who raises a puppy to be a guide dog. Because of this book, I began fostering guide dog puppies. My latest one recently returned for her formal training. I bought a new copy of the book, and will share it in honour of her, in the hopes that it may inspire others as much as it did me.
