They watch movies and read together. When they go to the beach, the tin robot rusts and the dog leaves it there. The robot dreams of returning but cannot. When the dog returns with a repair manual, it is too late. The beach has closed. The dog makes new friends who come and go, but it cannot forget the robot. Various people come across the robot and use it for various purposes. When spring comes, the dog searches for the robot, but it has been taken to a scrapyard. It is then rebuilt by an inventor into a radio robot. The dog orders another robot, and they seem happy together, but the radio robot cannot forget the dog. Topics Dogs. Mail order. Model kits.
