When a playful puppy rears up a stuffed animal and gets in trouble, he decides to run away. Being a "dog gone" isn't as trouble free as it looks, and almost immediately the pup misses his owner and best friend. Meanwhile his close friend is looking for him tirelessly. Fortunately, even though he's made a mistake, his best friend is always waiting with open arms and take him back home. The author- illustrator (Leeza Hernandez) brings animated drawings to a classic friendship tale, with easy to read verse. This is wonderful for a read- aloud or for young readers just starting out.
