Illustrated by
Becka Moor.
Finding the back door open, Rusty enjoys a day outdoors, rolling in the mud, visiting the butcher shop, and splashing in the fountain. Flip the book over to experience Rusty's big day out from his owner's perspective. Though slight in plot, dog lovers will appreciate Rusty's innocent antics. Retro illustrations are lively and help keep the book from being gimmicky.
