JaKe GROWLING

JaKe Goes to The Pawlympics
JaKe Goes To The Pawlympics tells the story of a disabled dog who has dreams to run as he used to before his accident. Now with only three legs JaKe had given up all hope of running again until his friend Charlie took control of the situation and inspires JaKe to try again, and train.
Charlie is a very intelligent Crow. He is JaKe’s best friend but has only one leg himself which makes his landings a little scary. Charlie teaches JaKe that anything is possible, you just have to believe in yourself. As JaKe’s self-appointed trainer, Charlie teaches JaKe to rest but not quit and other important skills like how to deal with bullies.
Throughout this heart-warming story of two best friends they show what can be done when you work as a team, demonstrating that dreams can be achieved. This unlikely duo shows the importance of friendship no matter what your differences.
