Space Dog and the Pet Show (STEPPING STONE BOOK)

Roy wants to enter Space Dog in the local pet show. Space Dog can walk, talk, and count, so winning a blue ribbon should be a sure thing, right? But Space Dog wants no part of it. He came to Earth to do research, not perform silly tricks! Finally, however, he agrees to enter for Roy's sake. But he didn't bargain on a beauty makeover at Dotty's Dog Salon! "Roy's attempts to convert his new pet to the ways of this world are hilarious." -- Publishers Weekly
