The Great Dog Bottom Swap

Description

The day has arrived for the Dogs' Summer Ball. It's so high class in fact, that each dog must remove their bottom before they are allowed inside the hall. But in the middle of all the frivolity something unexpected happens and the dogs have to make a hasty exit...with or without the correct bottom!
