Love finds a way / Vern Kousky.
Oscar the bird is worried that one day love will find him. After all, there's a scurry of friendly squirrels in the forest who just can't help showering him with affection. Determined to keep it -- and them -- away, he gets a scruffy guard dog and names him Brutus. Brutus quickly learns to growl and bark and chase. And he becomes a very good guard dog. So Oscar gives him a friendly scratch. Then a tasty treat. And soon, growling and barking and chasing aren't Brutus's only jobs. There's also fetching sticks ... and keeping Oscar company ... And maybe even teaching Oscar a thing or two about love. From the creator of the beloved Harold the Bear series, Love Finds a Way is a joyous and heartwarming reminder that sometimes all you need is a little love.
