Harry the Dirty Dog by Margaret Bloy Graham, Gene Zion
3.0

The story makes me think of [b:Where the Wild Things Are|19543|Where the Wild Things Are|Maurice Sendak|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1384434560s/19543.jpg|3020535] because the dog runs off to have an adventure instead of doing what he’s supposed to but doesn’t like, only to return later and decide it’s worth doing after all. I’ve never had a dog that hated baths, but a smart dog that hated baths probably would think to bury the scrub brush. I’d bet that most people would still be able to figure out it was their dog, though, even if he was filthy.
