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. Eventually his rumbly tummy reminds him where his food bowl dwells, as well as his frantic family who is searching for him in all the wrong places.
Nowadays families are busier than ever and inevitably something important gets dropped. Dawg’s story reassures children and their adults that things work out at the end of the day, sometimes in unusual ways. As they finish reading Dawg’s story, children will laugh in recognition and parents will sigh “It’s all good.”
