This is Book one in the Dog Diaries series by Patterson and Steven Butler, a spinoff of the popular Rafe Katchadorian Middle School series, told from Junior's (the dog's) perspective. I found this book light on spine/story, but I enjoyed the humor and illustrations (c'mon, why doesn't Richard Watson, illustrator, have his name on the cover? Give credit where it's due!) Ruff Catch-a-Doggy-Bone is back as Junior's own pet human, and in short, Junior has behavioral issues that need addressing. The reading level felt like upper elementary school (grades 3-5) instead of middle school, perhaps the authors are targeting reluctant readers. Much simpler than the rest in the Rafe middle school series. If you want a light no-brainer, a very quick read, this is your book.
