Spacedog

the long version

"Space Dog is the visual tale of a red, nameless dog who starts his life like many farm dogs -- in a cushy barn with a litter of brothers and sisters. One day he wanders off the farm, jumps a train to the big city and before he knows it he has been transformed from innocent farm dog to street wise dog-about-town. After a series of adventures Dog attracts the attention of NASA and is hand-picked to become the first dog in space. That's where the story really takes off. You can join Dog on his extra-terrestrial travels and meet the crazy friends he makes (canine, human and alien) in this superbly illustrated, colorful book -- these pictures tell the story without the help of a single word." -- from publisher's web site.
