About this listen

The Crooked Dog by Joanne Stubenberg, narrated by Madeline Starr, and produced by Audiobook Publishing Services, is a heartwarming children's audiobook about rescue, adoption, friendship, and unconditional love.

Jo Jo is a small dachshund with a crooked body but an incredibly big heart. Lost, frightened, and without a home, Jo Jo waits and hopes—just like so many rescue dogs searching for a second chance.

Everything changes when a kind young boy named Kelly chooses him, beginning a touching journey of companionship, trust, and belonging. But when an unexpected accident challenges their bond, Jo Jo and Kelly must learn the true meaning of patience, empathy, and caring for someone you love.

Through gentle storytelling and meaningful life lessons, this audiobook helps children understand kindness, responsibility, and the importance of animal adoption.

Perfect for young listeners, families, and dog lovers, The Crooked Dog is an inspiring children's story that highlights emotional growth, compassion, and second chances. Ideal as a bedtime story or early learning audiobook, it encourages kids to treat others—both people and animals—with love and care.
