- Synopsis
- Edward is in fifth grade and still doesn't have a dog because his parents say he hasn't learned to be responsible. Then, his uncle Josh, who travels around, never keeping a job for long, comes to visit bringing a smart, lovable, young collie Argess he rescued in the Grand Canyon. Edward admires his uncle who is so easy to like and wishes he could go adventuring with him when school lets out for the summer. Meanwhile Edward is running scared from the bully next door. Through being left, being lost, and being picked up by the police, Edward begins to understand the difference between love that just is, and responsible love you can depend on. Though just a dog, Argess is responsible. She has good manners in the house, follows instructions, and runs right along beside Edward's bike. Argess is loving. She licks Edward's face and stands up for him against the big, bully, Martin. Will Edward, who abandons his messy room and forgets errands, learn responsible love in time to make Argess his own?
