The one thing Tate has always wanted was a dog of her own. So she can't believe her eyes when a scrawny mutt turns up in the yard one day. She even persuades Mam and Pap to let her keep Sable, named for her dark, silky fur.
Before long, though, depite Tate's attempts to train her, the naughty dog begins to cause trouble with the neighbors. Mam and Pap decide--Sable must go!
What can Tate do to save her beloved dog? Tate is as strong willed as her pet. She isn't about to give up their friendship easily--and neither is Sable.
