Hyperkinetic Agapanthus returns in this early reader, confidently entering her exuberant new pound puppy, Major Bark, in a dog show despite his "whizzy" nature and mixed pedigree. Major Bark wins a prize for the dog with the smallest eyes, sending his owner into twirls of happiness. Wobbly lined pictures add a humorous note to a winsome if predictable pet story.
