Mrs. Tully’s puppy, Walter, is friendly and happy. His wagging tail is fine while he’s small but when Walter grows into large dog, the folks in town dread seeing Mrs. Tully and Walter’s tail coming. Sad and despondent, Mrs. Tully and Walter talk a long walk out of town where Mrs. Tully slips into trouble and Walter’s tail becomes an asset. Line and wash illustrations effectively convey the mood and movement of this familiar and appealing story.
