The friendly Yorkie–Shih Tzu mix—with his bundle of black and brown hair, long floppy ears, and big round eyes—had been Steven's companion during even the loneliest days. But it took more than one man to bring Oliver home. It took a community of friends and strangers who believed that love is worth fighting for.Oliver for Young Readers offers a story of good triumphing over despair, a beautiful reminder that a little kindness can truly change the world.
