How do you keep from feeling lonely when you have outlived all your friends? For one clever old woman, the answer is simple: she only names the things she knows she will never outlive. She names her sturdy house Franklin, her comfortable bed Roxanne, and her trusty car Betsy. But one day, a shy, scruffy brown puppy appears at her front gate. The old woman refuses to give the puppy a name, afraid that she might outlive him, too. Even as the playful dog visits her every single day, she tries her best to keep her distance. But you will soon see that some friendships are just meant to be! This tender and heartwarming story shows how a little bit of love can melt the most guarded heart. It is a beautiful tale about opening yourself up to new friends, taking chances, and discovering that you are never too old to find someone special to love.
