Rhyming text with lots of wordplay relates a dog's story of its household that grows as "new feet...arrived on the scene." Two legs of its owner become four legs as he marries, six with their baby, etc. Though initially wary, each two-legged arrival ultimately adds excitement for the four-legged friend. Silly dog's-eye-view illustrations capture much about the family--mostly from the waist down.
