Life was good for Dawg
krunchy kibble
cushy bed
tasty treats.
Until...one day,
when Dawg waited
by the door,
tail waving, wagging...
When Dawg's busy family ignores his pleas for a walk, he takes matters into his own paws and follows his nose on an adventure through the neighbourhood. He decides to visit his favourite spots — his telephone pole, behind the mailbox and even meeting a new dog and playing in the wading pool!
Eventually Dawg's rumbly tummy reminds him where his food bowl dwells, as well as his frantic family, who have been searching for him in all the wrong places.

"Kids, particularly dog lovers, will enjoy this very sweet story. The colorful, loosely drawn illustrations depict a warm, light-skinned, realistically busy family. Dawg's an endearing, large, shaggy pooch with light brown fur. An appealing story sure to captivate children who appreciate dog 'tails. "
