A classic, adorable story of a homeless little dog who finds supper at one house, a comfortable couch at a second, and breakfast at a third. A little stray dog with a wagging tail wanders onto Maple Street one day. Brownie walks the children to school, goes to the bank with Mrs. Butterworth, and even helps Mrs. Tweedy rake her yard. 

But when night comes, everyone goes home except for Brownie. He doesn't have a home to go to because everyone thinks he's somebody else's dog! Love the vintage clothing and hairstyles (Mrs. Butterworth's curlers).
Notes
I remember reading this at home in Kimberly.
