Bookroo's summary

Spike, a lovable dog, is wrongly blamed for chaos at home and sent to obedience school. He excels there, but upon returning, the mischief resumes. Can Spike unmask the real troublemaker before more blame falls on him? Join Spike on a humorous and heartwarming quest to clear his name and restore peace.

From the publisher

First someone eats a steak right off the barbecue. Then someone digs up Mom’s flower bed. Spike knows it’s not his fault, but Shannon still has to take him to obedience school. While nervous at first, Spike discovers he loves school. He’s good at all the lessons, he makes a new friend, and he even gets a blue ribbon. But as soon as he gets home, the trouble starts again. Will Spike be able to find the real culprit-before he gets blamed for more trouble? “Family Life” called Spike “a goofy-looking dog you’ve just got to love,” and in “Spike in Trouble,” Spike’s misadventures are as funny and endearing as ever.
