Publisher's Synopsis
A story of the alliance between a dog and his flea which leads to mutual respect, the essential ground of true friendship. The book's light-hearted rhymes open with Dog, a homeless mutt with little self-confidence. He is saved from destruction by Wonder Flea who, unbeknownst to Dog, has been his friend all along. The unlikely pair venture together through Brooklyn. By the end of the day Dog, who renames himself Captain Cur, will need to find the self-respect necessary to overcome his greatest obstacle in life.
