Bookroo's summary

Eight-year-old Alfie Wolfe, who detests cleaning, meets his match when Dudley, an English bulldog, checks into Hound Hotel. As slobber becomes his new nemesis, Alfie learns the art of clean-up and discovers an unexpected friendship. With his twin sister Alfreeda often at odds with him, Alfie navigates the chaos of canine care. Can he and Alfreeda agree on what their furry guests need, or will Dudley teach them a lesson in teamwork? Dive into a world where every dog brings a new adventure and a chance for Alfie to grow.

From the publisher

Welcome to Hound Hotel, the perfect place to board your canine family members. Readers will enjoy meeting all sorts of dogs through the eyes of eight-year-old Alfie Wolfe, the good-hearted, funny narrator. Every dog that visits the kennel has different needs, and Alfie and his twin sister, Alfreeda, are ready to serve them. The problem is the twins usually disagree about what those needs are! There is one thing they always agree on, though: there’s nothing better than a dog!
