Caldecott Honor-winning author-illustrator David Ezra Stein has fans old and new at his command with this comical dog's-eye view of having a best friend. A funny new picture book with a twist on the boy-and-his-dog story that has both humour and lots of heart.
Many dogs have human owners. Not this dog. He fetches his own slippers, curls up at his own feet and gives himself a good scratch. But there is one spot, in the middle of his back, that he just can't reach. So one day, he lets a human scratch it. And the poor little chap follows him home. What can the dog do but get a lead so he can take the chap around?
