A Show-and-Tell With Heart

Follow Maggie’s heartfelt show-and-tell that reveals the unconditional love she shares with her dog, Trooper. This story of love, caring and friendship is based in part on a true story of a rescue dog named Charlie.

Nervous anticipation and excitement mount as the new school year begins. Maggie’s imagination soars when her teacher announces summer vacation show-and-tell is the following day. She could say she hiked to the South Pole or went to Mars but the truth is she didn’t go a-n-y-w-h-e-r-e.

As Maggie discovers all of the interesting trips and happenings her classmates will share, she realizes she has n-o-t-h-i-n-g to share. Her vacation was cancelled when her family discovered Trooper, a three-legged rescue dog that was hurt and needed their help.
