Publisher's Summary

From Bad Dog to Best Friend, Dakota's story is a must for anyone with a problem dog. From pottying all over the house, chewing and destruction, Dakota was transformed into a dog who could be trusted with full run of the house all day. She came to us as a used dog, abandoned by owners who couldn't handle her. When we first adopted Dakota from the dog pound she couldn't be left alone for one single minute. One year later we were able to take her on a road trip and she was a model citizen. Dakota now brings us joy and laughter instead of "Don't Kill the Dog" sticky notes.
