As a newcomer to Meadowview Farm, Tommy, the Jack Russell Terrier puppy, has to learn to get along with a large variety of animals who already live there. He learns tolerance and kindness for those who are different then he. Some of the animals are different colors and speak languages unfamiliar to Tommy. Some behave in a way he does not understand. By sharing his experiences as he tries to fit in with the other dogs, a donkey and her three horse companions; the goats; rabbits; and the barn cat. Tommy develops a great awareness of others, and a broader understanding of their interesting differences. Little Tommy has many problems to solve as he makes friends at Meadowview Farm.
