A touching tale about the relationship between a girl and her dog as they grow up together, from Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Jonathan Fenske.

Emmy loves Fetch—he is her Dream Dog. Whenever Fetch sleeps, he dreams of the activities they do together, like playing chase and retrieving sticks. And though they have to adjust those activities accordingly as he gets a little older, rounder, and slower over the years, Fetch and Emmy remain side by side through it all.

This deeply moving story demonstrates the unbreakable bonds that can span a lifetime and leave a lasting impression on our hearts—even when growing up eventually means needing to say goodbye.
