"Every day is a learning experience for 11-year-old Yuzu. Between visiting her mom at the hospital, and helping out at her uncle's animal hospital, she's starting to get the hang of what it means to care! This time Yuzu meets a pup that goes from spoiled to smart, as well as a super-smiley therapy dog. She also discovers how hard it is to adjust to new siblings -- fuzzy or otherwise! Later, after meeting an elderly cat, Yuzu learns what "quality of life" is, and just how important it is to listen to what our pets tell us"--Provided by publisher.
