The Dog Who Will, Eventually, Become An Integral Part Of Our Family, Our Constant Companion And Best Friend, Is Born Without Us Into A Family Of Her Own.

Horowitz Keeps A Lens On The Puppy'S Point Of Viewhow They (Begin To) See And Smell The World, Make Meaning Of It, And Become An Individual Personality. She'S There When The Puppies First Open Their Eyes, First Start To Recognize One Another And Learn About Cats, Sheep, And People; She Sees Them From Their First Play Bows To Puberty.
