Abstract Any pre-teen girl or anyone who's ever been one, will identify all too well with Erika's feelings when she is the object of subtle female bullying. Named "Dog Girl" by her rival, Erika struggles to deal with the derogatory looks, name calling and insecurities which arise within her from an all too common experience of pre-teen girls. She is torn by her love of her family's numerous pets adopted by her veterinarian mother and the shame of being nicknamed "dog girl." Written for the BC SPCA Kids' Club and in memory of a friend who died trying to rescue a stray dog, the love and intimacy with which [Jacqueline Pearce] describes the dogs in this book is evident. The humorous personalities of Erika's dogs are based on the real life incidents of pets which belong to Pearce's friends.
