She wanted to grow up so that her own set of spots would come. Her father reassured her that she would get her spots just like her brothers and sisters but that she would still be loved even if she did not have spots. He told her it was not the spots that counted but to be proud of who she was. Dot was determined and stubborn and she decided she would get her spots one way or the other.

Would Dot finally able to get her spots?
