About this listen

Everyone loves coming-home stories, especially when they include dogs and happy endings! From Steven Carino and Alex Tresniowski comes Oliver for Young Readers, a heartwarming and true story of a man searching for a beloved lost dog and finding more than he’d ever hoped for.

When Steven Carino discovered his dog, Oliver, had been stolen from his car, he knew he would do anything to get Oliver back. The friendly Yorkie-Shih Tzu mix - with his bundle of black and brown hair, long, floppy ears, and big round eyes - had been Steven's companion during even the loneliest days. But it took more than one man to bring Oliver home. It took a community of friends and strangers who believed that love is worth fighting for.

Oliver for Young Readers offers a story of good triumphing over despair, a beautiful reminder that a little kindness can truly change the world. This middle-grade audiobook:

  • Is for ages eight to 12
  • Includes Oliver’s “thoughts” during the journey and extra stories of Oliver and Steven’s adventures
  • Is a great gift for dog lovers
  • Has a companion book for adults: Oliver: The True Story of a Stolen Dog and the Humans He Brought Together

Oliver for Young Readers is a story of good people - including hardworking immigrants, wealthy suburbanites, car mechanics, deli workers, old friends, close relatives, street cops, a dedicated TV news reporter, and one very gifted hairdresser - offering help without asking for anything in return. It's a story of near misses, false hopes, and fresh leads ending in a joy-filled reunion on the streets of a rundown New York neighborhood. It's a story of faith renewed and hope restored.

Bring Steven and Oliver’s story to life with photos included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Heartfelt story of love & compassion

The audio book isn't just for young people, I loved hearing the story from the voice and heart of Oliver's dad.
It's hard to have faith in difficult times - this true story takes us on the journey of family, friends and unconditional love from 1,000's of strangers.
Beautiful and raw, but don't worry - happy ending for everyone.
Thanks for sharing Steven and sweet Oliver.
