"I love the park. / I find a poo. / I roll in it. / I look at you." A boy's parents want to get rid of his misbehaving dog; in the end, they let the pup stay. The story is narrated by the dog, who knows he will never change, and the unexpected rhymes add humor to his antics. Energetic illustrations and varying font sizes reflect the fluctuating mood.
