The Newman Tales, Vol 4: Newman’s Green-Eyed Adventure

Newman was used to being the center of attention. His boundless energy and curious nature always made him the star of the show. But everything changed the day his neighbor Benji arrived. From the moment the playful, energetic Benji walked through the door, Newman felt a pang of something he hadn’t experienced before – jealousy. He watched as Benji played with his favorite squeaky toy and cuddled with Mom in his cozy corner of the sofa. Newman couldn’t help but worry, “What if Mom likes Benji more than me?”

Determined to keep Benji away from his cherished belongings, Newman barked and growled. He didn’t want to share his toys, his space, or his mom’s affection. Slowly, with patience, love, and plenty of tasty treats, Newman began to see that there was more than enough love to go around, and that sharing with Benji didn’t take anything away from him – it added joy to his life.

Through playful antics and heartfelt moments, Newman discovered that even when things seem really bad, beautiful things can still happen. This green-eyed adventure taught him the true value of friendship and the happiness that comes from opening his heart.
