Synopsis

Arthur wants to show his Mom and Dad want that he's responsible enough to get a puppy. Arthur comes up with the perfect solution--he'll start his own petsitting business! But between a boa constrictor, an ant farm, a group of frogs, and a cranky dog named Perky, Arthur's got his hands full! Amid all the chaos, can Arthur still prove he can handle a dog of his own?

About this title

Book Description:

Arthur's determination to prove he is responsible enough to have a puppy brings him a menagerie of animals to care for.

Synopsis:

Arthur seeks a job taking care of pets to prove he is responsible enough to have a puppy of his own. He is glad that his first job is to mind a dog for a week, even a temperamental one, and he lets Perky sleep in his room. An ant farm and a canary follow--but when sister D. W. finds frogs in the bathtub and a boa in the livingroom, Mother banishes these "pets" to the basement. The reason for some of Perky's fussiness is revealed when, on the day she is to go home, she disappears--and is discovered in Arthur's closet with her new litter of pups. The pleased owner gives one to Arthur in addition to his fee--most of which pesky D. W. claims for a back debt.
