Dink is a little dog with a GREAT big bark.
Every morning, Dink hurries to his favorite watching spot in Grandma and Grandpa's yard. He has important puppy business to do - and that business is squirrels The moment he spots one, he takes off like a curly apricot-red rocket, zooming across the grass with his floppy little sister Daisy toddling along behind him.
But one day, something different happens. Dink finds a tiny baby squirrel curled low in the grass, frightened and alone. He barks. And barks. And barks. But he doesn't bite. He doesn't pounce. He doesn't hurt it at all.
Grandpa gently picks up the trembling little squirrel, and as Dink watches, something in his big, loud heart begins to soften. Maybe this squirrel wasn't for chasing. Maybe it needed kindness.
Dink Loves to Zoom is Book Four in The Adventures of Dink & Daisy - Tails of God's Love, the heartwarming picture book series inspired by two real-life dogs and grounded in Scripture.

"A soft answer turneth away wrath." - Proverbs 15:1, KJV
