Ted Rand.
When is a dog more than just a dog? To his owner, a happy-go-lucky golden retriever can be everything from a prancing pony (when carrying a stick) to a slick seal (when given a bath) to a hibernating bear (when napping with the young narrator) as he goes about his daily activities. Exuberant illustrations fill each double-page spread with movement and capture the loving relationship between a boy and his dog.
