Dawg\u2019s got a great life\u2014as all \u201cdawgs\u201d deserve\u2014but today, as he waits impatiently to be walked, leash in mouth, tail wagging, no one\u2019s paying attention. Dad\u2019s making pizza for dinner, Mom\u2019s at her computer, Bro\u2019s playing guitar, and Sis is on her phone. Everyone tells Dawg to ask someone else to walk him. Finally, Dawg takes matters into his own paws and takes himself out. Little One, playing with a train set, notices and says, \u201cDawg gone!\u201d No one hears. Dawg has a blast visiting his favorite areas of the yard, observing neighborhood animals, sniffing wonderful fragrances on the sidewalk, and detecting telltale aromas left behind by other pooches at the telephone pole, fire hydrant, and mailbox. He performs the act he originally went outside for. A fun jaunt in the park with his pals rounds out his walk, but soon he realizes that he\u2019s hungry. At this point, Dawg\u2019s family finally remembers that no one\u2019s walked him, and Little One repeats, \u201cDawg gone.\u201d This time, everyone hears. Panic-stricken, the family searches the neighborhood, but all ends happily as Dawg returns home to loving embraces and everyone asking, \u201cWho\u2019s feeding Dawg?\u201d (He gets pizza, too.) Kids, particularly dog lovers, will enjoy this very sweet story. The colorful, loosely drawn illustrations depict a warm, light-skinned, realistically busy family. Dawg\u2019s an endearing, large, shaggy pooch with light brown fur.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
