Like a Wolf

An Outstanding International Trade Book (United States Board of Books for Young People)

A dog, feared and mistreated by everyone, is rescued and cared for by a man who needs and appreciates him
 

Pointed ears, sharp teeth, and a back slightly bent under dark fur: a lonely dog gets mistaken for a wolf. No one came close—no one dared—so the sad dog howled. Until one day, someone reached out a hand to him.
