Petey is a sweet little pug who lives at a home near a golfing facility. Watching people and cars flow into and out of that location piques his curiosity, so one day he escapes from his yard to check it out. He makes his way onto the golf course and chases after the small white balls as they fly about on the green, but he is unable to catch any of them. Eventually, a nice man approaches in his truck and takes Petey to a building where the pug gets to spend time with a lot of nice individuals. Then Ty, a familiar face to Petey, takes him home for a sleepover, and the next day, Petey gets returned to his own house. From this experience, Petey learns it is better to stay with his family, or else they will be sad.
This quaint tale of a curious pug is a gentle read, especially since the whole thing takes place from Petey’s sweet and innocent perspective. He doesn’t understand golf as a sport, but he does love to chase after balls in motion, and he sees all the people he comes across as his friends. His cheerful nature clearly makes his visit a memorable one for everyone who encounters him there, and one place where this story shines is by implying what his hosts go through during his adventure. They get to spend time with a friendly dog and keep him safe until his family can pick him up. The inherent humor that results from Petey’s antics is something any reader can smile about. Additionally, the fact that it is based on true events could easily turn this book into a beloved heirloom to pass on to children and grandchildren.
