Maggie and Hero by Margaret O'Brien

Maggie and Hero, written by Margaret O'Brien and illustrated by Veselina Tomova, tells about a puppy named Maggie that is always getting in trouble and feels like she's no good for anything, until she meets a big dog named Hero.  Hero convinces her that she is good for something and with Hero's encouragement Maggie herself becomes a hero and rescues a boy.

What kid doesn't like a story about dogs?  Anna thought it was great.
