My Dog Lyle — Jennifer P. Goldfinger

Lyle may look like an ordinary dog to some people, but not to the little girl who loves him. She sees all the things that make him special: the way he gets “surprised” by skunks, eats grass to make himself sick when he has a tummyache, and drinks out of the toilet bowl when he's thirsty. By the time the list of Lyle's “unique” talents is complete, readers will agree that he's a very special dog.
