Abstract

Synopsis: The story is told all through newspaper articles, pictures, and letters from the dog. Ike the dog was sent to obedience school by his owner Mrs. LaRue because he steals food from the kitchen table, chases the neighbor’s cats, howls, and he tore her camel hair coat. Ike writes her letters about how bad the school is. His letters explain his actions to her, and they tell stories of the horrible wardens of the school. His typewriter gets taken away, and he pretends to get sick. Ike then escapes the school, and he sends letters from his different destinations. He returns home in time to save Mrs. LaRue from an oncoming truck. Her coat gets torn again, but she does not care. She missed him, and she is glad to have him home again.
