With help from her mom, Annie comes to understand what her new puppy, Bess, wants when she scratches the door, rattles her bowl, or wags her tail hard when Annie gets off the school bus. Lewis's realistic pastel and pencil illustrations and poetic text gently convey the joy, warmth, and friendship that can develop between a girl and her dog.
