An old, hungry dog arrives at a farm looking for work. The farmer declares he has no need for a dog. "We'll see about that," the dog replies. The persistent canine demonstrates his cow-herding, horse-wrangling, and chicken-tending talents for the reluctant farmer until he lands the job of "good dog." Soft, grainy watercolor illustrations add humor to the satisfying tale.
