We can sound a little funny and feel a little funny when we are getting sick. But when you need your mommy and your doggy comes instead, what should you do?

Bob!

Review:
Little Louie is starting to feel really funny and not at all like himself. His nose was clogged, his ears made funny noises and his head felt full of something. The more he called for his Mom the more it sounded muffled and more like Bob. And coincidentally he does have a dog named Bob who came running every time he called his Mom. Little Louie was feeling worse and worse and calling his Mom with his stuffy voice was worse and worse and more and more like Bob, who came running and slobbering every single time. The three were exhausted and were in desperate need of a nap. It wasn’t long before Little Louie began to feel better. But something strange was happening to Mom. What do you think it was?
