About the Book

This is the story of Big, a Newfoundland who needed to find his purpose in life. Lucky for him, he crossed paths with a very astute frog. Tad, as he was called, recognized the large lumbering dog's need to find his place in the world. As fun nearly turns to tragedy, both Big and Tad realized their life's ambitions.
