The Stray Dog / Marc Simont
HarperCollins
2001
When a little dog appears at a family picnic, the girl and boy play with him all afternoon, and they name him Willy. At day's end they say good-bye. But the dog has won their hearts and stays on their minds. - From Amazon

I like that this was based on a true story that happened to a friend of the illustrator/writer! Simont's soft colors and lines always grab my heartstrings. So lovely! I loved the montage of pictures of the family thinking about the dog all week and getting distracted!
