Monty and the Poodles

Forget Oliver Twist and Annie, Monty the orphan pooch will steal your heart and give you hope for an inclusive world.

Monty is a scruffy, homeless pooch with a taste for fine art, and Ginger is a poodle who doesn't mind getting her paws a bit dirty. Monty and the poodles long to live together at the warm and cozy Poodle Mansion, but its strict poodles-only policy is rather inconvenient and so these crafty canines decide to create their own home where all are welcome!"beguilingly written and illustrated"
