Pugs Cause Traffic Jams

A girl races all over town looking for her lost pug, Kirby. As she asks one dog owner in town after another if they''ve seen her missing pet, readers are treated to poetically succinct depictions of every dog breed the girl comes across in the neighbourhood. ''Golden retrievers are pleasers. Poodles are overachievers. Border collies are always on the job.'' While at the same time, each alternating spread reveals the story of where her dog actually is, defined by the repeated phrase ''But pugs cause traffic jams!'' It''s a dog''s world of fun all around! Who could resist falling in love with this pug? (Hint: no one!)
