Rescued from an animal shelter, "Corkie-the-Yorkie" was loved by Tessie's whole family. He was a world-class snuggling, kissing, loving puppy, bringing joy to everyone he met. When he was lost, Tessie thought she would never stop crying; her life would never be the same. Christian teachers, parents, and grandparents will appreciate how Corkie, the Rescue Puppy, book 3 of the Tessie's Tears series, helps children learn that a loss may bring about blessings and that even when everything seems lost, there may be a different ending. Brightly colored illustrations and activity pages provide fun for every child.
