People tell me I'm no different than any other Tibetan Terrier, but somehow I must be different because I've had three homes.
Being a pup in foster care is awfully confusing. What's Murphy do when he's taken away from his family and placed in a new home, with new people, new pets, and amp hellip new EVERYTHING?!
Murphy, a Tibetan Terrier puppy, is told he is a amp quot good luck dog amp quot -he is cheerful, happy, and loves to play and wag his tail. However, after going through two different homes and an animal shelter, Murphy starts to feel like a amp quot bad luck dog amp quot who nobody wants. Murphy amp rsquo s Three Homes follows this adorable pup through his placement in three new homes, as well as through his anxiety, self-doubt, and hope for a new, loving family. Finally, Murphy is placed in a caring foster home where he feels comfortable and valued. He learns that he is not a bad dog after all and can go back to being a playful puppy and a amp quot good luck dog! amp quot
An extensive Note to Parents, written by author Jan Levinson Gilman, PhD, discusses the emotional experience of children who are in foster care, and provides caregivers with information on how to help kids cope with the difficulties of being placed in multiple homes.
