At home, Alex's best friend is Kevin the cockapoo, although what he wants most of all is a friend at school... but that is harder than he ever expected.
A touching story about learning that friendship isn't one size fits all and is often found where you least expect it.
Everything is changing for 11-year-old Alex and, as an autistic person, change can be terrifying. With the first day of high school only a couple of months away, Alex is sure that having a friend by his side will help.
So, he's devised a plan - impress the kids at school by winning a trophy at the PAWS Dog Show with his trusty sidekick, Kevin.
This should be a walk in the park . . . right?
