Murphy, a Tibetan Terrier puppy, is told he is a 'good luck dog' - he is cheerful, happy, and loves to play and wag his tail. However, after going through two different homes and an animal shelter, Murphy starts to feel like a 'bad luck dog' who nobody wants. ""Murphy's Three Homes"" follows this adorable pup through his placement in three new homes, as well as through his anxiety, self-doubt, and hope for a new, loving family. Finally, Murphy is placed in a caring foster home where he feels comfortable and valued. He learns that he is not a bad dog after all and can go back to being a playful puppy and a 'good luck dog!'

iParenting Media Award Winner "This is a great book for children pre-K to second grade. Darling lovable Murphy will help foster children acknowledge their experiences, unburden guilt, and feel better about themselves."--ForeWord Reviews "This is the very best book I've found to read to children in foster care. I also think it would be a helpful book to read to siblings of foster children or kids who are exposed to foster children in school or other settings. The story is fun and sweet, and the message is accessible. I highly recommend Murphy's Three Homes!"--Foster the Family Blog
