Shibu's New Friend

Shibu and Dottie are as different as cats and dogs—but maybe they have more in common than they think in this charming sequel to the international hit Shibu’s Tail!

Shibu has a lot of friends and they have a lot in common. It’s a lot of fun! But then comes ... Dottie. Dottie is a DOG and she does things a bit differently. She barks instead of purrs. She tears up boxes instead of sitting inside them. She spends a lot of time ... digging? 

Shibu isn't sure about a new friend, especially one so different, but he can’t help feeling like Dottie’s love for life is a lot like his own. Could this new friend actually become his best pal?
