Illustrated by
Kevin Cornell.
In this satisfying companion to The Trouble with Chickens, retired search-and-rescue dog J.J. thinks that a roaming possum is what he has to worry about, whereas canny readers will want to warn him about the gorgeous Samoyed who has moved in next door. Everyone will enjoy such gems as this dog-to-dog insult: "If you were any less of a dog, you'd need a litter box." Zing!
