Jackson is a big dog that is at the animal shelter. Several adults come and take Jackson out only to decide that he is too wild, too messy, and too loud for them to adopt. Thinking that he will never find a new home, Sam and Sara come and take him for a walk. While Jackson does run and tromp through the leaves, Sam and Sara love it. They adopt him and Jackson adopts them. The story has short simple sentences for the early reader. The illustrations are bright paintings with a very simple white or solid color background. The bright colors are sure to draw the kids into this cute story.
