From the critically acclaimed, Emmy Award-winning PBS children's series, Reading Rainbow, this program presents the book by Steven Kellogg. When her best friend goes away for the summer, young Kathy feels lonely and afraid, until she befriends a dog and learns about the love and care that pets need. Also in this episode, host LeVar Burton explores how seeing-eye dogs are trained, kids share stories about their best friends and viewers meet some wonderful pooches at the Rockland County Kennel Club Dog Show.

The Reading Rainbow programs are designed to encourage children to read by transporting them to exciting, real-life settings. The series introduces kids to interesting new people and places, explores social and cultural issues, and offers a close-up look at the world around them. Its dynamic, fast-paced, colorful animation and hip music entertain and reinforce these experiences, and help children embrace positive reading habits, skills and attitudes.
