Dawg Gawn
About Dawg Gawn
Little Audrey is walking to school and tells her dog Pal to go home. He will not stay there. She ducks behind fences and into a barrel, and he still finds her. A dogcatcher nets him and loads him on the pound truck. Audrey opens the truck, the dogs pour out, and the pack follows her to school.
