When you adopt a dog, it doesn’t matter what breed they are, they come into your family— no questions asked. You can add another dog of a different breed, and the dogs don’t care what color of fur each other have or what country they originated from; they only care about their favorite toy or their food bowl. The new dog just becomes part of the family.

Dawn chooses to use animals to tackle some of the tough subjects. Double Trouble is a story about two lively Labrador puppies, who are a little bit of trouble wherever they go. Their world soon is confused when they try to figure out what a family looks like--who makes up a family? Come with these two active dogs, as they discover that families may look quite different than they imagined. Some have a mom and dad, some have two moms and dads, some children are being raised by their Grandparents, but when it comes down to it, it doesn’t matter, because they are loved.
