Illustrated by
Michael Allen Austin.
Plucky rhymes with a Western twang relate a cowpoke's comic attempts to bathe his dog, who's "all caked with mud from end to end." Dawg objects, and other ranch animals--fleas, a hog, cats, and a mule--are caught in the struggle. After considerable mayhem, Dawg eventually relents and joins Clyde in the tub. Children will delight in Austin's colorful, boisterous illustrations.
