A children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a Woolly Dog toy who is initially owned by a struggling shopkeeper, Mrs. Clark. As the narrative unfolds, we see the Woolly Dog's desire to be sold to help Mrs. Clark pay her rent, leading him through various adventures, culminating in his journey to find a loving home. The opening of the story introduces us to Mrs. Clark, a poor shopkeeper, lamenting the lack of sales in her store, particularly for her most prized toy, the Woolly Dog. Despite his fine quality, he remains unsold, and the Woolly Dog quietly expresses his wish to help her. The narrative sets up a whimsical world where toys can talk among themselves when no humans are around, showcasing the Woolly Dog's interactions with other toys while they wait for the chance to bring joy to a child. As the story progresses, readers see both the challenges the toys face in finding a home and the heartfelt connections that form between them and their owners.
