The Guide Dog is a character in The Phantom Tollhouse.
History
When Milo was driving along a road, the Guide Dog jumped into his car and introduced himself. He told Milo that he came from a long line of pointers and has a compass on his side. He then told Milo that he could look through his sextant. Milo and the Guide Dog arrived in Alphabetburg where they went to the Word Bizarre. There, they met the Spelling Bee Man and Hummingbug. They were arrested by Officer Small Claims shortly after and thrown into a jail cell. Milo escaped through the window and went to see King Zzzz, who tasked him with finding the princesses Search and Rescue. He told Milo to take the Guide Dog and Hummingbug with him. Their first stop was the house where the world's tallest midget, shortest giant, fattest thin man, and thinnest fat man lived, who all turned out to be different people, breaking Milo's expectations. They continued on the journey, meeting Word Birds, Dr. Dischord, a faceless demon, a conductor, Lindsey Naegle in the Soundchecker's Tower, the Dodocahedron, a floating Martin Prince, and Ned Flanders. Finally, they arrived at Numeralville.
After Milo was beaten unconscious by the demons surrounding the Palace in the Smog, where the princesses were locked away, the Guide Dog and Hummingbug dragged him back to his house and put him in bed.
