Harry the dog (Zion)

Harry is a white dog with black spots who loves everything . . . except baths. So one day before bath time, Harry runs away. He plays outside all day long, digging and sliding in everything from garden soil to pavement tar. By the time he returns home, Harry is so dirty he looks like a black dog with white spots. His family doesn't even recognize him!

When a wave washes over a dog and covers him with seaweed, he is mistaken for a sea monster.

Harry feels ignored when his family pays attention to the neighbor's visiting guinea pig, but everything changes when the children bring both Harry and the guinea pig to school.
