A sweet little Scottie dog named Plaid is feeling sad because he has a broken leg and he does not think his friends, Duff and Dooney, care or even notice. He becomes very happy, though, when he discovers that not only do they notice him sitting under a cherry tree, but they help him to feel better. With Duff and Dooney's help, Plaid returns to his old playful self again, showing us how important and very valuable compassion is. This timeless children's book is reminiscent of old fashioned children's tales. It is full of goodness, kindness and understanding and, in its gentle simplicity, illustrates the joys of compassion.
