Inhaltsangabe

“It was the sweetest thing I read this year.”

—Reader

“… could be a bestseller!”

—Literary agent

“… explores important themes like identity, mental health, and friendship in a way that makes it accessible and fun for young readers. I really feel like this idea is commercial enough to appeal to the market while also literary enough to appeal to those looking for impactful reads–a truly difficult feat!”

—Editor at a major publisher

“I absolutely loved it. Pretty much every line Filbert spoke made me laugh. Especially: “He’s probably right. My willpower sucks. That’s why I’m morbidly obese.” That one made me laugh out loud. Filbert has such a lovable personality, and his name fits him perfectly in my opinion. And it makes me wonder if dogs do think that way and we just don’t know it. I think you have a really good start here and I would love to read more. I was able to get attached to the character very quickly, and I could easily hear their voices in my head. Especially Filbert’s. I imagine a slightly deep and monotone voice. Like a tired parent who’s done with everyone. Lmao. Overall the story gives me cartoon vibes almost and I wish there were more stories like that out there.”

Dumped at a shelter because their owners didn’t want “crazy” dogs:

● FILBERT, the book nerd basset hound with autism. He’s smart and resourceful, but his obsessive worrying and compulsive chewing always land him in the doghouse.

● HAZEL, the party girl chihuahua with ADHD. She’s peppy and fun, but so distractible that she’s always losing her keys.

● MEG, the audacious blue heeler with anger issues. She’s the outrageous life of the party, except when her short fuse goes off.

● SHELLY, the nurturing Newfoundland who wants to save the world. She has a good heart, but her chronic negative thinking always bums everyone out.

The shelter turns out to be a school run by a secret dog society where the furry four are taught to deal with their psychological issues.

When they fly to Rio to find a missing friend, the dog poop hits the fan. They are taken prisoner at an evil dog food factory. They will have to summon all they have learned to escape heartless men with weapons of pooch destruction.
