Illustrated by
Dave Whamond.
Starting at opposite sides of the book, Frank, an eager pug, and Laverne, a sardonic cat, each have a turn detailing their domestic lives and recounting an encounter with Carl, the neighboring Great Dane. The book's gimmick humorously plays with perspective on the same events; Whamond's tidy comic-strip-style vignettes capture each pet's relatable, if stereotypical, personality.
