A small, brown dog with a wet pink nose - Linzie Hunter

Amelia wants a dog, needs a dog, and believes she simply cannot live without a small brown dog with a wet pink nose. But rather than begging or pleading, Amelia decides on a more creative tactic to convince her parents that she is ready for a dog. She adopts an imaginary dog named Bones.

Bones goes everywhere with Amelia.
He's a part of the family.
So, when he goes missing, it's only natural that they look for him.
But what Amelia finds at the end of her search is a real live small, brown dog. Fortunately for Amelia, her parents are finally able to see what she does:
that a four-legged furry friend is, in fact, just what the family needs.
