In this slight story, Sal wants a medal like the other dogs at Hilltop Farm. Being part Portuguese water dog, Sal thinks joining the swim team will do the trick. Unfortunately, "No Dogs Allowed"--at least, not until one swimmer is injured. Acrylic paintings in a fitting aqua-blue palette show--predictably--Sal stepping in to win the race.
