Brave Buddy's Big Mission
Buddy, a playful golden retriever therapy dog, has a big heart-and a few sneaky tricks up his paw! Each week, he visits the children's hospital with Miss Emma to spread cheer. But today is different. Buddy has an important mission: help a scared little boy named Leo find courage before his surgery. From silly games to slobbery kisses, Buddy pulls out all the stops to make Leo smile.
Monkey in the Middle
When her family begins to change, a young monkey finds herself caught between two homes and emotions she doesn’t yet understand. Feeling like a true “monkey in the middle,” she worries the conflict is her fault and tries her best to make everything right. But as she shares her feelings, the grown-ups in her life begin to understand the impact of their actions, gently reminding her of an important truth: some things are not hers to fix.
