This was a very sweet fiction book telling a story about a young boy going back to school after a summer vacation. He and his dog were both very concerned with what the dog was going to do without the boy home all day to play. The dog walks the boy to school and then goes to a park and meets some new dog friends that he plays with all day and has a great time. Life without the boy isn't so bad after all, but the dog is very excited to go back and pick up the boy from his first day of school. Many children could relate and find humor in this pet story.
