  • Welcome to Storyline Online, brought to you by the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.

  • I'm Betty White, and I think we're going to have a good time today!

  • At least I know I am. I'm going to be reading you a book, okay.

  • I love animals, all animals, but maybe dogs in particular.

  • So today, I'm going to be reading you a story about Harry the Dirty Dog.

  • It's by Gene Zion, pictures by Margaret Bloy Graham.

  • Harry was a white dog with black spots who liked everything, except... getting a bath.

  • So, one day, when he heard the water running in the tub,

  • he took the scrubbing brush... and buried it in the backyard. Then he ran away from home.

  • He played where they were fixing the street and got very dirty.

  • He played at the railroad and got even dirtier.

  • He played tag with other dogs and became dirtier still.

  • He slid down a coal chute and got the dirtiest of all.

  • In fact, he changed from a white dog with black spots to a black dog with white spots.

  • Although there were many other things to do, Harry began to wonder if his family thought that he had really run away.

  • He felt tired and hungry too,

  • so without stopping on the way he ran back home.

  • When Harry got to his house, he crawled through the fence and sat looking at the back door.

  • One of the family looked out and said, "There's a strange dog in the backyard...

  • By the way, has anyone seen Harry?"

  • When Harry heard this, he tried very hard to show them he was Harry.

  • He started to do all his old, clever tricks. He flip-flopped and he flop-flipped.

  • He rolled over and played dead. He danced and he sang.

  • He did these tricks over and over again, but everyone shook their heads and said,

  • "Oh no, it couldn't be Harry."

  • Harry gave up and walked slowly toward the gate, but suddenly he stopped.

  • He ran to a corner of the garden and started to dig furiously.

  • Soon he jumped away from the hole barking short, happy barks.

  • He'd found the scrubbing brush! And carrying it in his mouth,

  • he ran into the house. Up the stairs he dashed, with the family following close behind.

  • He jumped into the bathtub and sat up begging, with the scrubbing brush in his mouth,

  • a trick he certainly had never done before.

  • "This little doggy wants a bath!" cried the little girl,

  • and her father said, "Why don't you and your brother give him one?"

  • Harry's bath was the soapiest one he'd ever had. It worked like magic.

  • As soon as the children started to scrub, they began shouting,

  • "Mummy! Daddy! Look, look! Come quick! It's Harry! It's Harry! It's Harry!" they cried.

  • Harry wagged his tail and was very, very happy. His family combed and brushed him lovingly,

  • and he became once again a white dog with black spots.

  • It was wonderful to be home.

  • After dinner, Harry fell asleep in his favorite place,

  • happily dreaming of how much fun it had been getting dirty.

  • He slept so soundly, he didn't even feel the scrubbing brush he'd hidden under his pillow.

  • Did you like that? Well you're going to like this even better.

  • This is my friend Ringo. I just met him, but he's a shelter puppy

  • who found a wonderful forever home, so he has a happy ending

  • just as Harry the Dirty Dog had a happy ending. Thank you.
