Summary: Mans best friend is the center of this sweet and hopeful picture book. The little girl in the family plays fetch with the family dog until she has to go to school. Once she leaves the dog is desperate for someone to play fetch with him. He tries mom and even the cat but nobody will play fetch. He finally takes a nap and dreams of his ball.

The dog is drawn with so many facial expressions that his emotions shine through the page!
