Illustrated by
Jane Dyer.
Lucky and Squash are neighbor dogs whose friendship remains thwarted by a gate. Determined to unite their shy owners so that they can be brothers, the dogs hatch madcap plans, thrice running away to encourage their owners to team up to find them. Dyer's realistically rendered watercolor illustrations lend heart to an abruptly silly--and yet satisfying--ending.
