<p>Based on a true story, Ralphie finds new best friends in Homer and Peeptwo adorable (gulp!) . . . birds! But how can that be? <br>Im a dog, and everyone knows dogs arent supposed to like birds! <br>Why not? asks his sister Charlotte. <br>Because . . . well, I dont know why not. Were just not, thats all. <br>If we are open to everyone and have no (as Ralphie learns and describes as) silly ideas of who we think we are supposed to like and not like, a whole new world opens up as we learn we have more in common than we ever realized and our new best friends may turn out to surprise and delight us!</p>
