Pierre wants to flee his pampered yet pressured life (his owner has him training for a poodle championship) and join the devil-may-care dogs in the park. The tale's plot and denouement (he realizes how good he has it) have the whiff of the familiar, but Beck's well-paced storytelling and thoughtfully executed illustrations will be pleasing to pup lovers.
