I’ll show you around, you can stay the whole day.

Big Dog is a Big Help
Big Dog is such a big help when his family goes camping. He can fetch and carry, help with the cooking, and show Little Dog where to find all the best, soggy, muddy treasures. So why is everyone so upset with him?
When Little Dog goes missing, though, Big Dog shows just how helpful he can be in finding Little Dog again.
