Eight-year-old Jillian Miller has just moved with her family to a new house in a new town. Jillian doesn't really like change that much, but she likes her new room, and she knows she's going to have to make it work. As she settles in and meets the new neighbors-including their dog-she hopes that one day she'll have a dog of her own. Then, one morning on a local Tv show, Jillian sees a dog available for adoption and just knows that this is the right dog for her. She and her family go to meet the dog and then adopt her, calling her Sashi-and that's when their lives begin to change. The Millers have their work cut out for them in helping Sashi adjust to a new life, but they know it will be worth it. After all, Sashi is a very special dog! Based on a true story, this book for young readers shows that things don't always turn out as planned and that love knows no boundaries in either human or animal world.
