The Poodle and the Shepherd

By Angela Strickland

The Poodle and the Shepherd is a heartfelt children's story about loss, courage, and the healing power of hope.

Through the eyes of a gentle puppy, readers follow the emotional journey of two sisters who are abandoned, face fear in the woods, and learn to survive together.

Along the way, the story tenderly explores sadness, bravery, and the comfort of family-both the one we're born into and the one we find. When the puppies are brought to a shelter, the story takes a hopeful turn. New friendships, kindness from humans, and an unexpected visitor open the door to love again.

With warmth and reassurance, the book shows young readers that even after difficult beginnings, good things can still happen. Filled with emotion, resilience, and gentle lessons about trust and belonging, The Poodle and the Shepherd reminds children that hope can lead to new names, new friends, and a place to finally call home.
