Maggie, the Dog with a Heart: The Adventures of a Jack Russell Terrier, Book 2

What’s so special about Maggie? She looks pretty much like most other dogs of her breed with one exception… there are two large black spots on the side of her body that join together to form a heart when she curls up. That’s why she’s also known as “the dog with a heart”.

A New Home for Maggie is a charming story about a special Jack Russell Terrier puppy who must leave her first home after being adopted by her forever family. She is worried about moving to a new home and leaving her friends and family behind.

As her first car ride comes to an end, Maggie gets a glimpse of her new home for the first time, a three-story brick and stone house at the end of a long and winding concrete pathway. After several days of exploring, Maggie discovers some favorite places and quickly falls into a familiar routine. She even makes friends with the birds and squirrels that inhabit the enclosed yard!

Change can be difficult, but Maggie soon realizes that, with the love and support of her new family, she has become comfortable and content with her new surroundings. This place is her home and these people are her family!
