A boy knows almost everything about his dog, but he wonders what Scooter dreams about. Dog owners will appreciate the boy's observations: "This means he wants to play... This means he wants to play right after he's finished playing." Lively watercolor illustrations provide laughs (e.g., as Scooter slurps from the toilet: "I know this means he's thirsty"), leading to a surprisingly subdued ending.
