(4) K-3 Dog Doug becomes convinced that his best friend, Pug, has outgrown him, but every perceived slight has an explanation (e.g., Pug had meant to write "I'M REALLY SICK OF OLD DOUGHNUTS," but got distracted after "...OLD DOUG"). The misunderstanding is fairly ineffective--a truly suspenseful impasse would have been more interesting--but Breen plants great gags in the charming cartoon illustrations.
