Soon after, however, Harry hides the scrubbing brush under his bed. The family collectively gives the strange dog a bath, ultimately recognizing it to be Harry. His attempts to get his family to realize that it is him succeed only when he digs up the brush that he had earlier buried. When he returns home, Harry's family does not recognize him. Harry becomes very dirty after playing in the streets, at the railroad, and in the dog park to the extent that, covered in dirt, he becomes a black dog with white spots. Harry is a family dog with white fur and black spots who, disenchanted with taking baths, buries the bathtub scrubber and runs away from home.
