Meet the students at Puppy Academy--a team of plucky puppies learning to be working dogs.

Pip is friendly, patient, and loyal--that's why he's training to be a service dog! The only thing standing in his way is his one weakness: if a ball is thrown, he has to chase it.

When Pip gets assigned to a young girl in a wheelchair, he can't wait to meet her. But will she like her new companion? And will Pip prove himself a worthy assistance pup?

Horn Book Review

Pip wants to be a service dog, but his penchant for chasing balls might be his downfall. Aspiring surf-rescue dog Murphy is a star in water-rescue training but loses his confidence in the ocean. The amusing books set at the Sausage Dreams Puppy Academy feature large fonts, short sentences, plentiful black-and-white illustrations, and endearing canine characters. Facts about each kind of working dog are appended. [Review covers these Puppy Academy titles: Murphy and the Great Surf Rescue and Pip and the Paw of Friendship.] (c) Copyright 2018.
