This story about Arthur's desire for a dog is both amusing and touching, as the 8-year-old aardvark created by Marc Brown proves to his parents that he's ready for the extra responsibility by opening a "pet business." His first client--a cat named Jaws--proves a real challenge with special food recipes and a long list of gripes. Also on this video is "D.W. the Copycat," another good story about sibling mysteries in which Arthur's sister D.W. decides she wants to be just like her brother in all things: the walk, the talk, and so on. Arthur tires of it all quickly and has to persuade her to find another role model. --Tom Keogh
