What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

DUMPED! Freddie is a well-bred, well-mannered, fluffy white dog – not the sort you’d expect to get dumped. But that’s what happens. Now he’s on his own – alone on the streets – until he meets up with Spike, a watchdog-in-training, who’s just not mean enough to satisfy his cruel junkyard master. Freddie helps his new friend escape, and together they set out, struggling through danger and adventure to find a new home. But can either one really trust humans again? And if so, will Spike’s past life threaten his newfound happiness – and Freddie’s as well?
