Bookroo's summary
Calvin's heart is set on a dog, but his mom thinks he's too irresponsible. With the help of Ledward, her boyfriend, Calvin visits 'dog heaven' and meets Streak, the perfect pup. Now, Calvin must prove he's ready for the responsibility, or risk losing the dog he believes is meant to be his. Can he convince his mom that he and Streak are a perfect match?
From the publisher
What do you want so badly that you can taste it–and can you persuade someone to give it to you? That’s the subject of a fourth-grade writing assignment. Calvin wants a dog! He reads what he’s written to his mom to see just how persuasive he can be. No way, Mom says: Calvin is too irresponsible to care for a pet. Luckily, Mom’s boyfriend, Ledward, is on Calvin’s side. He takes Calvin to a place he calls dog heaven. There Calvin meets the dog of his dreams–Streak. Now Calvin’s got to convince Mom he’s dog-responsible, because he and Streak belong together!
