José and El Perro

Description: "José loves his family: his Papi, Mami, and little sister, Sofi. But something is missing--he dreams of having a dog, un perro of his own. Finally José gets to pick el perro perfecto, the perfect dog, from a shelter. But when he tries out commands like "¡Siéntate!" (sit) and "¡Échate!" (lie down), his new pet simply tilts his head to the side in confusion. Then he realizes that the dog does understand commands--he just doesn't understand Spanish! Follow along as José teaches su perro inteligente some new words en español."--
