This hot dog has had enough of summer in the city! Enough of sizzling sidewalks, enough of wailing sirens, enough of people's feet right in his face. When he plops down in the middle of a crosswalk, his owner endeavors to get him the breath of fresh air he needs. She hails a taxi, hops a train, and ferries out to the beach. Here, a pup can run! With fluid art and lyrical text that have the soothing effect of waves on sand, the author shows us how to find calm, and how to carry it back with us so we can appreciate the small joys in a day. -- Publisher's description. "A summery picture book about mindfulness, featuring an overheated - and overwhelmed - canine in need of sea, sand, and fresh air."--
