A captain and his wife bring home Molly, a huge Newfoundland dog, in The Lighthouse Dog (Orca $15.95) by Betty Waterton with illustrations by Dean Griffiths. Molly soon takes over the house, throws out the cat, devours the captain's pizza, chews on his slippers and settles into their bed with a load of starfish. When the captain and his wife lose their patience and decide to return Molly to the market where she was bought, Molly realizes that she has to race against time to prove herself worthy of staying in the lighthouse.
