Martha loves her daily walk. She enjoys sniVing and scratching with her pals down by the hydrant. But there's a new dog in the neighborhood, a blustering bully named Bob. He's big and mean, and even Martha reluctantly concedes that he may be a BAD DOG. No one appreciates the gift of words more than Martha. Unfortunately, when Bob escapes from his yard, he's not in the mood for conversation. Defending herself, Martha comes to understand the power of words to hurt or heal.
