A children's book teaches kids about the importance of animal adoption and acceptance.

"Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel" tells the tale of a dog who lives in a hotel lobby.

While Charlie enjoys showing guests around, he dreams of finding his forever home.

Anchors Shannan Ferry and Rocco Vertuccio spoke with the author of the book, Lara Eurdolian, Saturday morning on NY1 about her inspiration for the story.
