"I'm my own dog. Nobody owns me. I own myself," says this independent canine. But one day, when his legs prove too short, he lets someone scratch his itchy back. Soon the dog is taking his "good boy" on walks, teaching him about chasing squirrels, etc. Stein's gestural watercolors are the perfect foil for the droll text.
