Gracie is a dog
who enjoys the quiet life. For her, there's
nothing nicer than sitting indoors, resting
peacefully. One day, however, Gracie's world is
turned upside-down with the arrival of some
noisy, bustling painters. Gracie barks at them,
ordering them out of her house, but to her
surprise, Gracie is put out instead.
When Gracie decides to take a walk outdoors
— all by herself — it doesn't take
long for someone to notice she's missing. Soon,
the painters, the neighbors, the garbage man and
the paperboy are running after her, and Gracie
can't figure out why . . . so she keeps on
running! Soon the whole town joins in the chase,
but Gracie outruns them all and returns home
— all by herself.
