In Puppy Commando, a shy grade-school outcast forges an instant connection with a beagle puppy she meets at a shelterand risks everything to keep him. Gracies Last Walk features a woman who must find a way to say goodbye to her beloved golden retrieverbut ends up saying hello to someone unexpected. The Dog Who Kept Men Away shows that not all humans pass the sniff test when it comes to canines, who possess an excellent judge of character. And in Guardian Angel, a widower going through a painful transition finds the greatest comfort in the unlikeliest of sourcesa funny-looking pug named Gus. Whether sitting, staying, and rolling over, in the barnyard, shelters, or home, sweet, home, the creatures in Dancing Dogs are genuinely inspiring and utterly memorable.
