The Dog Who Dared to Dream

by Chi-Young Kim, Sun-mi Hwang, Nomoco
The Dog Who Dared to Dream - Thryft
The Dog Who Dared to Dream - Thryft

Canine tale of courage, dreams, and resilience.

If you've ever felt like an outsider looking in, "The Dog Who Dared to Dream" will speak to your spirit. It's not only about the life of an unusual dog named Scraggly but also a canvas reflecting our own aspirations and the challenges we face. Sun-mi Hwang's storytelling is gentle yet powerful, reminding us that, no matter how bleak the winter of life can get, there's a spring of hope just ahead. This might be the companion you need on a quiet evening to rekindle your faith in dreams and perseverance.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This is the story of a dog named Scraggly. Born an outsider because of her distinctive appearance, she spends most of her days in the sun-filled yard of her owner's house. Scraggly has dreams and aspirations just like the rest of us. But each winter, dark clouds descend and Scraggly is faced with challenges that she must overcome. Through the clouds and even beyond the gates of her owner's yard lies the possibility of friendship, motherhood and happiness — they are for the taking if Scraggly can just hold on to them, bring them home and build the life she so desperately desires.The Dog Who Dared to Dream is a wise tale of the relationship between dog and man, as well as a celebration of a life lived with courage.
