A Chew Story
Mr. Mack’s new Labrador puppy, Buzz, has a remarkable talent — he can transform wooden furniture into something completely unrecognizable.
The story
Table legs, chair arms, picture frames — if it’s wood, Buzz sees potential.
When Mr. Mack hauls the growing pile of “ruined” furniture to the yard, he expects sympathy from the neighbors. Instead, they see something else entirely: modern art. With the commentary of a cheeky household critic never far behind, Buzz’s unique woodworking creations are selling, critics are raving, and Mr. Mack finds himself the manager of a four-legged artistic sensation.
But fame comes with a cost. As awards pile up and travel takes Buzz far from home, he begins to miss the simple joys he once took for granted and must decide what truly matters most.
Perfect for anyone who has survived the “privilege” of raising a puppy, A Chew Story is a laugh-out-loud read-aloud with heart — celebrating unexpected talents, second chances, and the irreplaceable value of home.
