A charming picture book by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Garth Williams that was first published in 1953.

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.
