Wiley is a boy who is afraid of dogs and the dark. Jasper, a dog who lives next door with Grandpa, is afraid of kids and thunderstorms. Wiley and Jasper overcome their fears of each other and become friends when they both seek shelter from a storm in a dark barn. The predictable story gets a boost from playful illustrations that effectively show the pair's transition from fear to friendship.
