Bookroo's summary

Amos and his dog, Scruff, aren't exactly pals. But when Scruff is caught in a dognapping plot, Amos and his friend Dunc must join forces to save him. Can they navigate the city pound's secrets and outsmart the kidnappers? Dive into a world of unexpected alliances and daring rescues as Amos faces a challenge that could change his view on friendship forever.

From the publisher

Anyone who knows Amos knows that in his case, dogs are definitely “not” man’s best friends. Even his own dog growls and shows his teeth whenever Amos is around. Amos isn’t exactly fond of Scruff either. It’s a dog-eat-dog world. But when Scruff gets mixed up in a dognapping scheme, Amos and his best friend, Dunc, have to team up to spring him.Join Gary Paulsen’s cool sleuths as they go undercover at the city pound!
