"In an age of encroaching materialism where children worry about designer shoes and new things they want, this enchanting fable is welcome fare. The story is told of Kingston, a wealthy pedigree dachshund, who meets Rags, a country hound. When material possessions are used to measure personal worth, they discover that true happiness and genuine wealth only exist where there is freedom to be one's self and develop natural abilities. PERFECT FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY, The Story of A Rich Dog and A Poor Dog is a timeless message about being who you are."
