C’mere, Boy! By Sharon Jennings, illustrated by Ashley Spires

From chapters.ca:
Dog wants his very own boy. Though Mama warns him that a boy takes a lot of work, Dog is determined to find the perfect boy for him. Dog's search takes him from the pooch spa to the mall to the park, but none of the boys smell quite right. Finally, in an unexpected place, a promising- looking boy appears. Will Dog be able to train him? C'mere, Boy! is a funny and fetching twist on the traditional "boy wants dog" story.
