Poppy & Pipsqueak: The Mighty Pipsqueak by Deborah Kelly

Jessie-Dog has had her puppies, but one is much smaller than the others.

Dad says there’s no place for weak pups on a farm. But Poppy insists it can do everything the others can, too. After all, when Poppy was born, it was a long time before she could come home from the hospital.

So Poppy is determined to convince him that Pipsqueak can grow into a fine dog. But what if she fails?

What if Dad decides Pipsqueak needs another home, far away from Poppy?

Poppy is determined to prove that this tiny puppy can become a great working dog, despite its size.
