Summary
The Dog in the Manger is a timeless farmyard fable brought to life in five heartfelt chapters. When a scrappy little dog claims the manger for himself, he denies the horses, oxen, and chickens the hay they need, though he cannot use it either. His stubborn pride sparks hunger, quarrels, and reflection throughout the barn. Guided by the wisdom of the farmer, the animals slowly learn that selfishness leaves all empty, while sharing brings peace and strength. At its heart, this is a tale about pride, humility, and the power of community, reminding us that true strength is found not in what we keep, but in what we give.Book information
