Während der Autor eigentlich unterschiedliche Tiere vorstellen möchte, drängt sich der Hund, den er als erstes vorgestellt hatte, immer wieder in den Vordergrund. Davon sind die anderen Tiere irgendwann so genervt, dass sie den Hund wegjagen. Durch einen Trick entkommt er und so ist es nicht "das Ende" sondern wieder der Hund. R. Collins (Bilderbuch zuletzt "Seht mal her, da sitzt ein Bär!") zeigt gekonnt die unbedingte Suche nach Aufmerksamkeit, die viele Hundebesitzer kennen werden. Schon auf dem Cover sieht man den fröhlich-frechen Stil, in dem der Hund porträtiert wird. Jede Doppelseite ist in einer Farbe gehalten und gibt den freigestellten Tieren Raum. Die Illustrationen sind absolut gelungen und vermögen den Tieren grosse Emotionalität zu geben. Für alle Bibliotheken, die noch unbeschwerte Spass-Lektüre mit wenigen Worten suchen, ist der Titel empfohlen. Ab 4
