Summary:
"Warm belly rubs! They say it's a sign of trust when your pets roll over to expose their bellies. Inu-kun has a firm belly with a prominent belly button, and Neko-sama (who's always constipated) has a belly that rumbles when you massage it. Hidekichi realizes she'll forever remember their displays of trust in the form of bellies. This newest installment presents to you yet another collection of charming and comedy-filled pet stories!"--Page [4] of cover.
