Juan wanted a dog, but his mom didn't like dogs. "They're too much work, they make a mess, they leave hair all over the house." However, Juan didn't care about that; he was determined to have a pet, no matter what.

Who didn't look for a pet's companionship in childhood? Although Juan dreams of a dog, with the innocence of his age, he resolves it by making an unexpected friend, in whom he believes he will not find his family's rejection or his mother's allergies.

This fun story, winner of the V Soy Autor award for Best Illustrated Album in 2022 and María Lavezzi's first book as a complete author, is perfect for lovers of dogs, pets, and any other creature.
