In the seventh book of their adventures, Mudge the St. Bernard loves Henry's sick days: he gets to eat the crackers that Mom gives Henry. Then Mudge gets sick, visits the vet, and gets pampered with bed rest and a special diet--but Henry eats the crackers--till Mudge is well enough to eat his own crackers and to be kissed again. This affectionate pair is as amusing--and heartwarming--as ever.
