Berta wouldn't mind spending six weeks of vacation alone at home if she had a dog to rest her head on her lap. But Uncle Eduardo's strict rules prohibit having animals without feathers at home. Before Berta can get depressed, her cousin Búha visits her. Búha is a very smart girl with big round glasses who knows very well what to do to avoid getting bored on vacation: they will distribute posters around the neighborhood offering to take care of the neighbors' dogs. Their mischief, their ingenuity and their deep love and respect for animals will delight all readers. This fun story is perfect for the little ones and for those who love dogs.
