Raging Rio
Get ready for another heartwarming story from author Gloria Reyes. This time, meet Rio -- a pup with a rough start and a fiery temper. He's wary of people and other dogs, bouncing from home to home.

Just when things start to look up, a new challenge puts his strength and spirit to the test.
