[Mohamad Elayan · Rating 4 out of 5]

يتحدث عن تجربة تبني الكلاب , و ما هي الأمور التي عليك اخذها بعين الإعتبار إذا فكرت في التبني
الأدوات التي تحتاج اليها , المصاريف , تكاليف العلاج .. الخ

الكتاب غير مفيد نهائيا للعرب , لأن فكرة التبني قد تكون غير موجودة في وطننا العربي و لا اعتقد انه سيكون مفيد لأي شخص يسكن في الوطن العربي
