Pulitzer Prize-winning Berkeley Breathed's first illustrated novel tells the heartwarming and humorous story of Sam the Lion, a priceless dachshund bred to be a show dog, and his best friend Heidy. After being framed by the jealous poodle Cassius and cast out by Heidy's uncle, Sam navigates the rough streets with a soup ladle for a leg. Alongside other abandoned dogs, he journeys to the Westminster Dog Show, where his plans for revenge take an unexpected turn upon reuniting with Heidy after years apart. This novel is an ode to the unconditional and lasting love between pets and their owners.
