Bookroo's summary

Stanley, a well-behaved dog, succumbs to temptation when his owners are away, turning the house into his personal playground. Music blares, the fridge is raided, and the couch becomes his throne. But as the days pass, Stanley discovers that endless fun isn't fulfilling. What will he do when the thrill fades and loneliness sets in? Join Stanley on his journey from wild nights to a search for something more meaningful.

From the publisher

Stanley’s people go out a lot. Stanley is a good dog, but one night, while they’re away, the temptation becomes too great and he sneaks up onto the couch. What a wonderful experience! Soon he’s also blasting the music, dancing around the living room and raiding the fridge. Stanley’s never had so much fun! But after a couple of weeks something is missing, and Stanley realizes that partying alone has lost its thrill.
