Trying to Track Down a Memory

Kindergarden circa 82-83. We had a series of books called I want to say "I CAN READ BOOK (1-8)" that we had to work our way through the series to prove reading readiness. You started in book 1 with just like what were prolly sight words and by 8 was sentences. I have gone down a rabbit hole of the basal readers I learned on (Silver Burdett Ginn here) but I'm trying to go back farther.
Current ELA teacher, interested in comparing how we teach reading now vs how we taught reading when I learned, doing some independent research.

My class had these books I think. The characters in the book were a girl, a boy, and a dog. The dog's name was pug.

I don't recall them, myself. But, looking on Goodreads, there was a lot of books about learning to read (with crap books among them [ready to put on hijab]) Looking on South American River online comes up with many as well. Here's a link to a peanuts box set.
