This is a true story about me, a dog—not a sandwich! Hi, I’m Torta, the dog … the dog everyone calls sandwich. I’m the main character. I’m also the storyteller, because nobody else knows my whole story, and I wanted to share it. I hope you like it! You will.
This book is about everything I can remember about my first year being a dog. I would say puppy, but now, as I tell you this story, I’m an actual dog. I’m not the biggest dog, but I’m also not the smallest.
I guess the story is really about how I changed from a puppy on the street to a dog with a house and family. It’s also about my sister and my Dad. They’re my two best friends. They’re home to me. The house is really just a big square box where we sleep and store our food.
It’s also about other friends I made, the adventures I’ve had, the smells I’ve sniffed, the food I’ve eaten, and, oh yeah—how I ate my Dad’s little blue book because it smells just like him.

This book is intended for beginner and intermediate Spanish speakers hoping to improve their fluency by reading the true story of Torta, a Mexican street dog with a curly tail and a fuzzy beard. The book covers the first year of her life, in her own words, as she matures from a lost puppy at a gas station to a beloved dog with a family, home, and community.
Improve your Spanish by following Torta's coming of age story as she meets her sister, goes on adventures along the Oaxacan coast, becomes a karaoke host, and even the night that she panics and eats her Dad's passport.
Written in Latin American Spanish, specifically in a Mexican dialect. Complete with vocabulary lists and verb conjugation charts at the end of each of the 12 chapters. Mapped as A2—B2 on the Common European Language Framework.
