Good!

I really liked this book, but it should be called 'Found Puppy.' In the beginning, Stella helps some horses out of a burning barn. Then, Stella isn't allowed to get her puppy out of her house when she evacuates. At her aunt's animal clinic, Stella finds a kitten. Stella falls in love with the kitten, but is very worried about her puppy.

Good book

There's a fire in Stella's town and everybody has to be evacuated. Unfortunately Stella finds a little kitten who's burned her foot, and Stella's own dog, Rufus, is locked in the kitchen at her house. Will Stella be able to help all of the animals, including her own?
