In this companion book to “They All Saw a Cat” and “Inside Cat”, a journey home leads to unexpected adventures for a cat and dog. A playful, imaginative story of friendship, empathy, and discovery by Brendan Wenzel. Cat and Dog are headed home. A simple route lies ahead of them... or does it? There's so much to see and smell and hear, and the two of them experience the world very differently. A stream, for instance, is watery fun for Dog, but it may not be so delightful for Cat! As their journey becomes an adventure full of unexpected twists and turns, Cat and Dog show that it's possible for two creatures to travel in the world together despite their distinctive perspectives and abilities-and even to appreciate and enjoy them.
