When their neighbor Mrs. Teaberry hurts her foot, Mr. Putter and his cat, Tabby, volunteer to walk her dog for a week. They discover that Zeke isn’t a dream dog after all. He might be a nightmare! After three days of Zeke’s tugging, wrapping around trees, and chasing other dogs, Mr. Putter and Tabby work to make it through the week. Illustrator Arthur Howard captures their humorous predicament in lively watercolor-and-pencil illustrations.
