Miss Cannoli was always a cute and loveable Shihtzu dog, She wakes up one day from a dream and finds herself in a beautiful grassland with a Rainbow Bridge in sight. She notices that she is different and that confuses her until she sees an old friend named Trevor- Larry coming from the other side with another dog. After an explanation of why they are there, she joins them and together they walk over the bridge. She quickly discovers that on this side all the animals enjoy themselves, laughing, playing and eating goodies every day. This is when Miss Cannoli has an idea for her friends to join her on an adventure but keeps it a secret for awhile. The plan was a little mischievous and because of this Miss Cannoli now earned a new reputation of being “The Little Scamp”

A wickedly funny collection of personal essays from popular NPR personality Sarah Vowell. Hailed by Newsweek as a "cranky stylist with talent to burn," Vowell has an irresistible voice -- caustic and sympathetic, insightful and double-edged -- that has attracted a loyal following for her magazine writing and radio monologues on This American Life. While tackling subjects such as identity, politics, religion, art, and history, these autobiographical tales are written with a biting humor, placing Vowell solidly in the tradition of Mark Twain and Dorothy Parker. Vowell searches the streets of Hoboken for traces of the town's favorite son, Frank Sinatra. She goes under cover of heavy makeup in an investigation of goth culture, blasts cannonballs into a hillside on a father-daughter outing, and maps her family's haunted history on a road trip down the Trail of Tears. Take the Cannoli is an eclectic tour of the New World, a collection of alternately hilarious and heartbreaking essays and autobiographical yarns.
