Bookroo's summary

Griffin Bing faces a new challenge when Luthor, a former attack dog, is blamed for ruining a champion's career. Suspecting a setup, Griffin rescues Luthor from the pound. To clear Luthor's name, Griffin must transform him into a national champion. With the odds stacked against them, can Griffin's plan turn this beast into a beauty and reveal the truth? The stakes are high, and the world is watching.

From the publisher

Showoff: someone who is given to bragging, having a swelled head, boasting, swaggering, knowing it all . . . Griffin Bing and his friends are back – and this time, things have gone to the dogs! After former attack dog Luthor goes berserk at a dog show, he’s accused of ruining the career of the three-time national champion. Griffin has always wondered whether you could teach such a vicious dog new tricks . . . but he also smells a setup of some kind. He feels bad for Luthor — bad enough to spring him from the pound. The only way for Luthor to make everything right is to do the unthinkable . . . and become the new national champion. Can Griffin Bing, The Man With The Plan, turn this beast into a beauty? Very soon, the whole world will want to know the answer.
