Words and pictures are well matched in this humorous, modern-day fable. A six-legged visitor hops onto the back of Shaggy Dog. He begs Mimi the proud poodle, a shepherd, Merv from the cafe and Mary Lou from the Poodle Parlour to relieve his itching by giving him a jolly good scratch in return for a favour. Only Mimi refuses but the final illustration shows that she receives her just deserts!
