Ever since her mother died, India Opal has been lonely. When she moves to Florida with her father, the preacher, she gets even lonelier. But one day, while getting some groceries, Opal meets a dog called Winn-Dixie, and she takes him home. Throughout that summer, Opal meets new friends and learns to separate the sad things from the happy things, all because of Winn-Dixie. I would recommend Because of Winn-Dixie to people who like dogs and Kate DiCamillo's books.

This so such a nice story about a girl who loved dogs so much that she rescued one who was in big trouble at a store. She made sure it always looked good, because when she found him he was dirty. Also, she named him after the store, Winn Dixie. Also, hello everyone! I've been here all along, my username was first @puppiesrule01. But y'all don't remember that because I changes it before getting any followers. So I changed it into @lpscollie01. So even later into @moon_wolf, then @mini_ jackie_14. So today, I decided to change it back cuz y'all were confused. So, hello again, everyone! I love DOGO news forever! Best website! Bye!
