"Eight Girls and a Dog" by Carolyn Wells is a light-hearted novel written in the early 20th century.

The story hints at themes of friendship, independence, and the joys of youthful escapades while showcasing their attempts to manage household tasks amidst delightful chaos. The opening portion introduces the girls preparing for their trip, with Marjorie Bond leading the charge as their enthusiastic president.
