A Dog and A Frog

An unlikely backyard bond between a gentle giant and a bouncy green friend

by Rodney Repko

Meet Baloo, a big, fluffy Bernese Mountain Dog with an even bigger heart. His favorite place in the world is his backyard, where the grass is soft, the balls are bouncy, and the pond is always cool and refreshing. One sunny afternoon, while investigating the ripples in the water, Baloo meets a cast of characters—from a shimmering koi fish to a graceful visiting deer. But it is a tiny, persistent frog that changes everything. With one giant leap, the little green traveler lands right on top of Baloo’s head! At first, Baloo isn't sure what to make of his hitchhiking visitor. The frog seems quite comfortable, snacking on bugs and enjoying the view from its new furry lookout. But as they spend the day exploring together, a beautiful friendship begins to bloom. From chasing butterflies to quiet moments by the reeds, 'The Dog and the Frog' is a heartwarming tale of patience, play, and the joy of finding a best friend in the most unexpected place. Perfect for fans of gentle animal stories, this charming adventure ends with the sweetest reward: a cozy nap under the sun.
