Summary: Two dogs, with silly names Nap and Winkle are digging around and find a bone. To determine whose bone it is they go on an adventure of asking different people throughout the town. In the end, they come to the conclusion that they can both share the bone.
Extension Activities:
*Have the students draw their own dogs with a bone on paper. Provide them with paper, brushes and different colored paints. As they paint their dogs promote discussion on whether they have pets at home or not. Let them name their dogs and tell a little bit about them to the class.
