Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical twist, a self-reliant dog who fetches his own slippers and scratches his own back faces a dilemma: an unreachable itch. When he enlists a human for help, the tables turn, and the dog must train his new companion. Can this unlikely pair find harmony in their role-reversal relationship? Discover the hilarity and heart in this charming tale of friendship and loyalty.

From the publisher

A dog without a human companion fetches his own slippers and curls up at his own feet but cannot reach a certain itchy spot in the middle of his back, compelling him to leash a poor lonely human who will loyally offer a helpful scratch.
