A piercing scream echoed throughout the house. Roused from a deep sleep, both children immediately looked to see what was happening. They couldn't believe their eyes. Their mother stood frozen by the pillar with her hands raised, two giant paws resting on her shoulders. A gray beast was happily licking across her face. Benno is moving in. And with him comes a whirlwind of chaos. The Great Dane soon turns everyone's life upside down and stomps with its large paws right into the hearts of its new family. A wonderful family novel about life with an extraordinary dog, based on a true story.
