Scuppers the Dog wants to be a sailor. He was born at sea and all he wants to do is go to sea. When Scuppers finally gets a chance to go to sea he is shipwrecked. But he doesn't let that bother him. He fixes his boat and goes back out to sea, this time ending up at a foreign seaport. Scuppers is now truly a Sailor Dog.

I love this story

I chanced across this book one day and bought it for my (now 19-year-old) son, and it was so fun to read. We lost the book, but for years afterwards I always remembered the both the opening and closing lines: "Born at sea in the teeth of a gale, the sailor was a dog." "And here he is where he wants to be, a sailor sailing the deep green sea." It's just a darling story.

Now I have a 3-year-old son again and I just had to buy him his own copy. It's one of the best bedtime stories ever :-)

Long lost book

I am so happy to have found "The Sailor Dog". I loved it as child so many,many years ago.It never left my mind.I loved the optimistic way of Scruffy and his adventures.The illustrations are still vivid in my memory.
Simply, I fell in love with him and his ways.

Warm hearted silly adventures .

I remembered this being read to/with me when I was a pre-schooler in the early fifties. I have strong memories of the art work as warm and secure images. Seeing them again fifty plus years later showed me why, they are outstanding! I had forgotten the plot, which is silly and fun to read aloud. More positive than most nursery plots, and with an independent well anthropomorphized canine hero.

Classic Story

I loved this story as a child, and purchased it for a books for children drive.

It is about a dog who becomes a sailor and builds a new life. It is a book about adventure for the very young. Perfect for ages 3-6.

Shortened But Still Good

The Sailor Dog was my favorite book growing up. I remember it fondly as I looked at the pictures imagining a world where dogs sailed the ocean or flew planes and went on grand adventures. I have ordered the orginal in the past from Amazon for a local book drive and got what I expected. On this recent order which was for our 2 year old who loves both books and dogs I got the Little Golden Book edition. Remember those wonderful small books with the gold spine? This edition, however, was not the same Sailor Dog of my childhood. It is an edited version without some of the pages. If you are looking for the original, keep looking. Otherwise this is a fun book.
