Description:

It's a big day for Emma — the school relay race is on, and her devoted puppy Dixie has come along to cheer her best friend to the finish line! Emma gives Dixie one very important job: "sit, stay, and cheer." Dixie is a little disappointed she can't run too, but she's absolutely determined to be a good dog. Then disaster strikes — Emma trips and tumbles just before the finish line! Now Dixie faces a big choice: stay put as she was told, or dash in to help the friend she loves. Warm, lively, and full of heart, this fifth book in the much-loved Dixie series gently celebrates friendship, teamwork, and doing the right thing. Told in short, simple sentences with cheerful illustrations, it's a winner for beginning readers.
