Unlovable

(4) PS Alfred the pug thinks he's unlovable--after all, the cat tells him he's ugly all the time. When a new family moves in next door, their dog can't see Alfred through the fence, so Alfred claims he's a golden retriever. Worried that Rex will reject him once he sees him, Alfred is pleasantly surprised to find they look alike. The story, accompanied by retro-style gouache illustrations, states the obvious about self-perception and self-esteem.
