Sonny the Puppy Dog is waiting for his best friend Little Duke to show up. Little Duke lives in the north and comes and visits his grandparents every summer. Little Duke''s grandpa and grandma are the owner of Sonny the Puppy Dog. But because Little Duke calls them Grandpa and Grandma, so does Sonny when he barks at them to tell them something.
Little Duke and Sonny go and visit Old Man Jack. He is a good friend also. Old Man Jack is always helping hurt animals. Today Old Man Jack had found a hurt baby owl. It had a hurt wing. So everyone went to the wildlife center together. And there the baby owl got help. Sonny went and looked around the center. Wow! Looks like there are so many different animals. And there were a lot of raccoons, turtles, baby deer, and a lot more. Some would live here at the center, and some would be let back out into the wild when they healed and got bigger.
But Sonny saw the pony. The pony had a bad leg. He walked with a limp. Sonny went to see the pony. Sonny found out the pony did not like the name the caregivers had given him, Clyde. Sonny told Clyde his name meant "big and strong." Sonny and Clyde became best of friends.
