4-6Last Dogs series.
Illustrated by
Allen Douglas.
In this second book in the series, Labrador retriever Max, dachshund Rocky, and Yorkie Gizmo pursue new leads into the humans' disappearance and befriend a casino boat full of dogs. The exposition-heavy narrative provides some answers to the central mystery, but the dogs' dialogue suffers from clichés. Black-and-white illustrations of the action contribute to the storytelling.
