Buster's a therapy dog who needs to take matters into his own paws to help a boy understand his own anxiety even if it means breaking a few rules. Buster's in big trouble. He's been dragged to Dog Court for breaking one of the most sacred of all dog rules: Never, ever talk to a human, or let a human know how smart you really are. But he swears he had a good reason! The boy he's been taking care of, Tonio, needed his help in a big way. You see, Tonio is afraid all the time -- afraid of saying or doing the wrong thing, afraid of making a fool of himself or (even worse) hurting someone else's feelings. His doctor thinks having a therapy dog will help his anxiety -- and Buster wants to help. He really wants to help. Even if it means breaking the rules Product Details Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781338541892 Page Count: 336 Trim Size: 5-1⁄4 x 7-5⁄8 Pub Date: February 2022 Fiction / Nonfiction: Fiction Ages: 8 - 12 Grades: 3 - 7 Imprint: Scholastic Press Subjects: Anxiety and Stress, Depression, Fear, Friends and Friendship, Magic and Supernatural, Pets Genre: Fantasy Language: English Guided Reading Level: GR Level V Lexile® Measure: 690L Return Restrictions: Strippable
