Publisher's Synopsis
Pepper and Belle have grown up in two houses, side by side-neighbor girls. Their dogs, Rex and Ethel, have grown up in two doghouses, side by side-neighbor dogs. But Rex and Ethel are old, and when they reach the end of their dog lives, they leave behind their beloved girls. In the hearts of Pepper and Belle, however, the dogs never stray far, inspiring the girls to find a unique way to commemorate their much-loved and forever-missed pets.
