A solitary boy and a stray little dog with a bad case of fleas meet one another in the park and discover that friendship is the best cure for loneliness. With the boy's family planning to move away, the pals take drastic action to stay together. Expressive sketchlike illustrations perfectly complement this tale of the canine-human bond at its very best.
