A new book has joined the Hank the Rescue Dog series. This time It’s the Cat’s Fault, but we’ll introduce Hank and his human first. 

It’s the Dog’s Fault 

From Amazon: A boy with ADHD. An unwanted shelter dog. And a very busy family. A combination that spells disaster. Through a hilarious series of mishaps, the entire family learns valuable lessons about the Fruit of the Spirit, particularly patience and self-control.

Will Hank be the answer for Kaden’s ADHD? Or will his shenanigans force the family to return him to the shelter?

Hank, the lovable mutt, will wag his way into your heart as he narrates this humorous, yet powerful, story of hope.

My thoughts: What a combination–a rescue dog (Hank) and a boy (Kaden) with ADHD. What could go wrong? Just about everything! Told from Hank’s point of view, Kaden and his family learn to deal with an untrained dog and a boy struggling in school. And Hank is so delightful has he learns right along with them. What a charming and hopeful story!
