The always-arguing Puddles mistakenly leave their dogs (both named Sally) behind in the country. As the scenes flip back and forth between the Sallys and the Puddles, it becomes clear that the dogs have more sense than their human counterparts. Readers will delight in the story's quirky characters, entertaining wordplay, metafictive elements, and lighthearted black-and-white illustrations.
