Tank is a twelve-year-old basset hound. He is a good dog and loves his family. However, Tank is ugly, smelly and not very bright. He is very plump, loves to sleep and can barely run with his brother, Bogey, a Labrador.
Tank's first adventure starts when one night it is raining hard and the wind blows angrily. Tank walks into the rain to go to his favorite spot. Suddenly, he sees a black tail and decides to investigate. He searches endlessly until he realizes that he is lost and nobody is there to help him find his way back.
Tank's second adventure happens when on the first day of spring he wakes up to a surprising blanket of white. As he ventures out to his favorite spot, a distressed pine squirrel throws acorns at him. Does he have the courage and strength to see why? Does he have the intelligence to stay close to home this time? Read the books to see!
"Tank, An Ugly Dog's Adventure is a delightful story, filled with imagination. Tank gets lost due to his great curiosity and has adventure that will keep a child's interest through the end of the book. I loved this story and look forward to using it as a read aloud to my Kindergarten students."
