A boy and his dog cavort through the day, illustrating a series of brief and often clever pairs of opposites. To demonstrate "Lucky's loud," the dog is pictured barking; to demonstrate "Lucky's quiet," he is still barking--but his owner (also the narrator) is wearing headphones. The spare illustrations, which appear childlike and quickly rendered, capture the classic friendship between boy and dog.
