Johnny and Tribe: A Secret Friend

Johnny and Tribe: A Secret FriendEight-year-old Johnny has always dreamed of having a dog, but Mom and Dad say they're too busy.Then one sunny afternoon in the woods behind his house, Johnny meets a scruffy, funny-looking stray with one floppy ear and one perky ear. The lonely dog wags his tail and does a silly spin. Johnny names him Tribe - and their secret friendship begins!Every day after school, Johnny sneaks food and water to the woods. They chase socks, howl at butterflies, bury homework, and share the kind of laughs only best friends can have. But Tribe gets cold and wet on rainy days, and the secret starts to feel heavy. When Tribe gets hurt, Johnny knows he can't keep his new friend hidden forever.Will Johnny find the courage to tell his parents the truth?Funny, gently sad, and bursting with heart, this beautiful children's picture book celebrates friendship, bravery, kindness, and the special bond between a child and a dog. With warm pencil-crayon illustrations in the classic style of Robert Munsch books, it's perfect for ages 4-8 and dog lovers of all ages.Dedicated to my best friend Tribe.The family still thinks about you every day. Miss you so much, bud.
