What happens when a bully calls you names?   Do you believe them?  Ignore them?  This is the dilemma that Otis, the dog, must face.  While taking a walk with Lucy, his owner, Otis comes face to face with a rude dog who calls him names.  Otis is crushed and cannot function until Lucy tells him she loves him just the way he is.  This fast paced endearing story will touch your heart and others.  The illustrations are humorous and add to the delightful text.  Told from the dog’s point of view, this is a great book to share with young children.  (Trade Book)
