This book is about a group of dogs that go to the park with their owners to attend an obedience class. However, the dogs have a mind of their own and do not want to obey. One by one they break loose from their owners and head for the pond to go for a swim.
I thought this was a cute book that portrays my dog perfectly. On the other hand, I became bored quickly because the only thing happening in the story was the dogs breaking free from their owners.
I would have my class make dog puppets with socks. Another activity I may have my class do is make dog collars and decorate them.
