# Hound from the Pound - Hardcover

by **Jessica Swaim** (Author), **Jill McElmurry** (Illustrator)

**After a woman unknowingly adopts a pack leader from the shelter, his furry friends follow in dogged pursuit in this rhythmical, rhyming picture book about doggy companionship, with art by the illustrator of _Little Blue Truck_.**

Lonely Miss Mary longs for a four-legged friend. But when she makes the mistake of choosing the untrained basset hound Blue, no sooner does he howl _AH-ROOoooooo!_ than her house has gone to the dogs!

Dalmatians and dachshunds, sheepdogs and setters, poodles and pups of all spots are ruling the roost. Can Sam the canine trainer teach this menagerie some _paws_itive tricks?

A charmingly illustrated, rollicking text offers a doggone good time and a perfectly happy ending.
