Ages 4-8

A little stray dog with a wagging tail wanders onto Maple Street one day. Brownie walks the children to school, goes to the bank with Mrs. Butterworth, and even helps Mrs. Tweedy rake her yard. But when night comes, everyone goes home except for Brownie. He doesn't have a home to go to because everyone thinks he's somebody else's dog!

In this new edition of a beloved story, a community comes together to share a dog that is loved by all.
