Suddenly Anthony the dog can do nothing but scratch. Everyone finds this disgusting - including Anthony - and soon it's time for a visit to the vet. Anthony has a skin problem and must have all his fur shaved off except that on his head and his tail! He knows he will look ridiculous, he knows everyone will laugh at him and that's notso hotso! But instead everyone thinks he's a lion and so he is treated with respect.
