Charlie is used to running the ranch, so when Rowdy shows up for a day, smelling like Charlie's breakfast, stealing belly rubs from Mama and more, his patience is sorely tested. However, his big heart softens and kindness triumphs. A big message in a small story. Delightful. Charlie the Ranch Dog isn't sure what he thinks about visitors. But Charlie will try to give the new dog on the farm a chance--so long as he stays away from Charlie's favorite things!
