Evie is overjoyed when she is given her very own puppy, Alfie.

Alfie adores Evie - he loves to be cuddled, sleeps on her bed and welcomes her home from school every day with a wag of his tail.

But it's not long before another new member of the family arrives: Evie's baby brother, Sam.

Suddenly, no-one has much time to look after a puppy, let alone play with Alfie and take him for walks, and soon he finds himself unwanted and all alone...

From best-selling author Holly Webb comes another moving animal story.
