A stray dog sneaks into a pillow store and pretends to be a pillow. But the man who buys him quickly realizes he purchased a pet instead. The dog runs off to try again. His attempts at a footstool are equally disastrous. Same for pretending to be a jacket collar. Can the dog finally trick its way into a forever home?
This story is adorable and fun with a sweet ending and hilarious illustrations. Unfortunately, it doesn't totally come together for me. It's a little hard to believe that the man and the salespeople don't realize that he's buying the same dog each time, and the plot could use just a bit more clarity. That said, the pictures are likely to make many children chuckle, and the ending will earn some smiles as well.
