Illustrated by
Phillip Fickling.
Fillmore and his robot best friend Geary live on a dogless planet, so they build a robotic canine, then travel to several planets in order to socialize him. The text is blandly written, but there is humor in the busy digitally rendered art and in the interplanetary adventures (on one planet the dogs act like cats). A kit for building a cardboard rocket is included.
