Overview

"Nine diggity dogs get ready to join a doggone jamboree! Meet Tinkles, Gracie-pants, Lovie, Fritzie, Weenie, Walter, Comet, Ike, and Jack. It's time for these pups to let their owners dress them up in costume! But one of them is shy. Another is too jumpy. Do any of them really want to join the fun? Once they see the silly and cute duds they're wearing, they will! But they need to hurry—the dog parade won't wait forever. And it's not to be missed!
