![]() ![]() ![]() City Dog still longs for his old friend, but a new friendship blooms when City Dog smiles a distinctly froggy smile and agrees to play with a new pal, Country Chipmunk. A full year of seasons has gone by, and it seems as if all is lost, but Spring comes again. A bewildered City Dog sits all alone as the purple shadows deepen, waiting for his friend. Then comes winter, and when City Dog races to Country Frog’s rock, his friend is not there. ![]() By fall, friendship has grown tender and sweet, but Country Frog is weary, and he suggests playing “remember-ing games” this time. When City Dog returns in the Summer, he runs straight to Country Frog’s rock, and they play city games together. ![]() The two become fast friends, and Country Frog teaches City Dog all sorts of country games. By the time the reader sees him in the opening full-page painting, he has already raced across a wide field and nearly off the page, “and all without a leash!” His initial encounter is with something he has never seen before, sitting green and expectant on a rock.
