Cute story of a dog anthropomorphized to conquer challenges. Wonderful illustrations ( )

Little dog Murray is worried about lots of things, from barbeques (there might be fireworks!) to rain (it might wash him away). An unseen narrator encourages and reassures Murray at every step, offering a doggy raincoat and a hot dog. At the end of the day, the voice says, "You know, even though it wasn't easy, you tried a lot of new things today. And I'm proud of you."

Murray worries…about lots of things
He doesn’t want to go out in the rain. He’s scared of the barking dogs at the park. Fireworks make him jump.
But gradually he learns that he can put on a raincoat. He can make new friends. He can be brave.
