by Doug, Salati is the perfect read for a sizzling day--perhaps during the “dog” days of summer! A city-dwelling dog and his human companion are suffering through a heat wave that’s magnified by the crowds and the concrete until the dog decides he’s had enough and can’t walk any farther. To cheer him up and cool down, his human friend takes him in a taxi, then on a train, and then a ferry, until they get to the beach! With a salty breeze flapping his ears and plenty of sand to run and dig in, the “hot dog” is now a happy camper.
