C’mere Boy!

In a fun twist, Dog wants a boy for a pet, even though warned that boys are hard to train.  All week long, Dog makes preparations for the day he gets a boy.  When Dog went looking for a suitable boy, he kept running into places where dogs were not allowed.  Dog was caught by the dogcatcher and taken to a kennel.  The next day, Saturday, Dog was taken to the “Meet ‘n’ Greet” room, where he met the perfect boy.  Instead of going home, Dog went to the boy’s house where he proceeded to teach the boy how to play fetch, go on walks, and share food.  On Sunday, Dog wrote to his mom telling her he found a boy to keep but was going to live at the boy’s house for a while.  Ashley Spires’ illustrations are cartoon-like in muted blues, greens, and browns.  There are some plot inconsistencies but enjoyable all the same.
