The Puppy in the Book
When Alice becomes very small, she escapes into the White Rabbit's garden. There, she finds the Puppy. To tiny Alice, the Puppy seems huge, like a giant dog. But he is actually a normal-sized dog.
Alice plays with the Puppy for a short time. She feels like she is playing with a giant cart-horse. She worries he might accidentally step on her. After their game, Alice leaves the Puppy. She feels a little sad to go.
