Bookroo's summary
Dominic, a dog with a flair for adventure, leaves home with his hats and piccolo. On his journey, he thwarts the Doomsday Gang's robbery attempt, becoming a hero. As tales of his bravery spread, new friends seek his help against the gang. Can Dominic, with his courage and charm, dismantle the gang's reign of terror? Embark on a whimsical journey where friendship and bravery collide, and discover if one determined dog can change the world.
From the publisher
Dear Friends, I am leaving in rather a hurry to see more of the world, so I have no time to say goodbye to you individually. I embrace you all and sniff you with love. I don’t know when I’ll be back. But back I will be.Dominic It’s time for a change, so Dominic packs his collection of hats and his piccolo and heads out, letting the world take him where it may. When Dominic encounters members of the Doomsday Gang, he easily foils their attempt to rob him. Legend of his victory quickly spreads, and each new friend Dominic meets tells him a story of their own less-fortunate meeting with the villains, and asks for help from the heroic dog. But can one lone dog bring down an entire band of hooligans?
