Tanna's Puppy is the third installment of authors Rachel and Sean Qitsualik?Tinsley's acclaimed series of children's books that explore Rachel's childhood experiences with Arctic animals. Training dogs has been a strong Inuit tradition for generations. Sled dogs in Inuit communities are valued working animals with a clear and important purpose. Tanna has always known that dogs are not pets. They are not meant to live in houses. Then one day, Tanna is given a puppy to raise. Tanna is sure her father will not let her keep Dandy as a pet. She eventually convinces her father to let Dandy into the house, just as a test. Will Dandy's love for her owners win Father over to having a dog as a pet? A heartwarming tale of the unique realities of Northern life and the changing definitions of what it means to be a family. Praise for the Tanna's Animals series!
