Synopsis

The second book in the Matthew McFarland series and Matthew is back! This time, he wants a dog, but unfortunately, his father doesn't agree. He explains that a dog will be too much work and suggests a fish. Determined to prove his father wrong, Matthew offers to dog-sit his neighbor's puppy. Will a week spent with Puddles be everything Matthew wished? Told in humorous rhymes, this story is a must for every kid who loves a pet and every kid who would love to have a pet.
