"Real dogs don't need tails." That's what Maverick and Ginger told their precious baby Sagebrush when she was born without a tail. Sagebrush overcomes labeling and bullying by her peers with the help of a young woman who hasn't let being a girl stop her from achieving her dreams. The young woman and the little dog disprove the disbelievers. They overcome fears that others can put upon you just because you look different. They find love, happiness, value, and worth in this tale set high in the Rocky Mountains on a working cattle ranch.
