A Tail of Empathy: Rocky Gains a Brother

By Brittany Musholt

Rocky loved his perfect life: sunny naps, quiet days, and belly rubs on demand. But everything changes when Mom and Dad bring home a new dog who is a whirlwind of fur and energy named Truman. Suddenly, Rocky's calm, cozy world is turned upside down.

Truman chews up Rocky's favorite bed, steals his sunny spot, and even knocks over the treat jar (without sharing) But as Rocky and Truman navigate the chaos, they begin to see the world through each other's eyes. Rocky learns that Truman's wagging tail isn't just hyperactivity-it's gratitude for his new home. Truman realizes Rocky isn't just grumpy-he's tired and trying his best.

This heartwarming story about two very different dogs learning to live together explores the power of empathy, understanding, and the bonds of family. Packed with humor, relatable moments, and touching lessons, A Tail of Empathy: Rocky Gains a Brother is perfect for families welcoming new siblings, new pets, or navigating big changes together.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or dog lover, this delightful tale will inspire conversations about kindness, perspective, and connection.

Perfect for readers ages 4-8.

A must-read for families and classrooms focusing on emotional growth and social skills.
