    About this ebook

    Based on actual events and work being done by IFAW in Cozumel, Mexico, Poco a Poco is the tale of how a mother dog and her puppy overcame hunger and hardship to find their forever homes. The cast of unlikely heroes will not only entertain, but teach empathy, understanding and respect as well. Illustrations and photographs help bring the story alive, and a discussion and study guide is included to encourage questions and self-discovery.
