    <![CDATA[&quot;Grandma, what happened?&quot; asked Alyssa.  &quot;Well, Dear, I think we just fell    through the rug.&quot; said Grandma Emma, looking bewildered.               &quot;Bu-but where are we?&quot; asked Alyssa, feeling a little frightened.               &quot;I think... Well I know we aren't in the basement,&quot; said Grandma.               Finding themselves in the strange new place, Alyssa and her grandma began to    look around.               &quot;Cool,&quot; said Alyssa.  &quot;It's like quick sand.  &quot;Grandma, did you know this would   happen?  I mean, was this in the recipe?&quot;               &quot;Oh, no Dear, I must have read the recipe wrong. I was trying to make more days   in the week.  Actually, I don't know what recipe I did follow,&quot; said Grandma, shrugging    her shoulders.                Come along with ten year old Alyssa, Grandma, and her small dog, Domino on   their journey through Wishville, where all wishes are granted.  They encounter dancing    fish, pirates and wild animals.  They still manage to travel to San Francisco, and back   home for a concert.   As Grandma Emma falls head first into one mess after another, Alyssa and Domino are always there to straighten things out.]]>

    <![CDATA[The dogcatcher returns for Grandma Emmas dog Domino, or is it the rug hes after?                     Grandma and ten-year-old Alyssa follow Domino through the rug, back to Wishville where all wishes are granted.                    Domino outsmarts the dogcatcher, and makes sure things dont turn out well for a bank robber with a bag full of money.                    Alyssa falls into the nest of a strange bird, and Grandmas most embarrassing moment is broadcast on national television.     Rub your return token and come to Wishville for more fun adventures and magical mishaps.      Follow That Dog is a winning recipe for fun.]]>
