Bookroo's summary

When Ma Peachey embraces yoga, her family spirals into disarray. With dinners uncooked and chaos reigning, only young Betty sees the need for help. Enter McTavish, a rescue dog with a mission. Can this canine genius teach the Peacheys new tricks and bring harmony back to their lives? Discover how one dog plans to save a family from themselves.

From the publisher

A dog with a plan adopts a chaotic family in a wry comedy extolling the virtues of common sense. When Ma Peachey takes up yoga, the rest of the family finds themselves abandoned to chaos: no one cooks dinner, no one picks up the dirty laundry, the children are always late for school, and there is a good deal of squabbling and squalor. Ma may be off finding inner peace, but irritable Pa Peachey, glum Ava, and wannabe girl-charmer Ollie are falling apart. Only Betty, the sensible youngest child, is wise enough to see that this family is in need of rescue. Enter McTavish, a rescue dog who, true to his mission, is ready to teach this family some new tricks. Getting the Peacheys to behave will take work, but if anyone can do it, McTavish can. After all, he’s a very good dog – maybe even a psychological mastermind!
