Bookroo's summary

Sister's birthday wish for a cat turns into a wild adventure with Dudley, the dog who loves chasing cats. From busy streets to a circus filled with tigers, Dudley's antics lead to chaos and unexpected twists. Will this zany journey bring poetic justice and fulfill Sister's wish in an unexpected way? Dive into a tale where a dog's mischief might just lead to a birthday miracle.

From the publisher

Sister wished for a cat for her birthday, but she got Dudley instead. Dudley is all dog, and he likes to chase cats. Dudley chases one, two, three cats and more across a busy street, down the railroad tracks, past a skunk, through a construction site, past a bumblebee nest, into a burning building, around a swimming pool, through a thunderstorm, and all the way to the circus, where the cats are called tigers. Bad dog! Does he think he has nine lives like a cat? Maybe so, in this delightfully zany tale of poetic justice and birthday wishes come true.
