I have a pug who lost his hind end mobility to a neurological disorder and used a wheel cart for a few years. Seeing the wheelie pug in this book was so refreshing. I love that the illustrator even made sure the pug had boots or socks on, which is important to protect paws from injury due to dragging.
This book also depicted a pup with one eye, as well as a service dog. The representation of humans and pups in this book is diverse and well done.

Still love Dean's artwork and the original character he created, but Pete's adventures are no longer very engaging. Even for babies and toddlers, this one misses the mark, even if Pete makes an adorable kitten. ...more
