Description
From the bestselling creators of the Ladybug Girl series comes a picture book about the misadventures of two very different dogs who become unlikely friends.
Elvis, the bulldog, just wants a little peace and quiet.
Romeo, the doodle, really wants to make new friends, and play at the dog park.
When they first meet, it seems Elvis and Romeo have nothing in common. But little by little, these polar-opposite pooches may just become the closest of canines.
