This is such a lovely book about what makes a dog (or anything or anyone) perfect. It isn't about what is on the outside. It is all about whether the parts work, and it does what it should. I was in love with this book as soon as I read this section on the body:
There was an odd, tubby, stubby body that didn't fit any other dog. they used that, and covered it with leftover wiry, scruffy fur. It's a comfortable body, perfect for cuddling.
Ashly Spires illustrations (always stunning) show that the body has met all the important criteria.

I am unfortunately allergic to furry things, otherwise, I would run out and get a dog after reading this book.
I just reread this and decided to give it another star.
