Poor wet dog...it was a hot summer day and the dog needed to cool off so he walked over to the man that was washing the car and wandered through the water. He happily began to shake off and "Shoo!" he was told. Throughout the story, the dog continues to get wet, but never gets to shake off because the people are getting ready for a wedding although that is an inference the reader is left to make. The dog sees all the fancy people standing next to the lake, but he decides it is too hot to care and gets in anyway. When he shakes off they shoo at him, but he just keeps going. The too hot baby laughs and says "More dog, more." as she gets wet from his spray of water. The fancy people see the fun and walk into the lake as well. I love the way this story is written. The language reminds of being too hot on a Southern summer day. This would be a good way to teach about the voice in writing.
