Illustrated by
Diane Palmisciano.
When his family leaves him behind while they go on vacation, Montezuma the dog decides to teach them to appreciate him more. He invites a smelly, ill-mannered mutt to greet the family on their return and is delighted to hear them say that they should have taken Montezuma with them. The energetic oil pastel illustrations add to the whimsical tone of the story.
