Book #1 in the Guinea Dog series
A boy wants a dog but his parents get him a guinea pig instead.
Rufus dreams of a dog, but his dad's objections are endless. When his mom brings home a guinea pig instead, Rufus is disappointed—until the guinea pig starts behaving like a dog. Barking, biting, and even eating homework, this unexpected pet turns Rufus's world upside down. Can Rufus handle the chaos of a guinea pig that thinks it's a dog, or will his dream pet become a nightmare? Discover the hilarious and heartwarming journey of a boy and his unconventional companion.
Rufus has been dreaming of getting a dog. His best friend has one. His worst friend has one. But his dad has a few objections: They whine. They gnaw. They bark. They scratch. They beg. They drool. Rufus pays no attention when his mom offers her think-outside-the-box suggestion, because she can’t be serious. She can’t be. She can be. And she actually comes home with a guinea pig. And if Rufus’s dad thinks dogs are a problem, he won’t know what hit him when he meets the Guinea Pig That Thinks She’s a Dog. She barks. She bites. She’ll eat your homework.
