Jacqueline Rogers.
T.P., a four-year-old bird dog, must adjust to sharing his home and his adolescent boy owner with a chocolate lab puppy. T.P. narrates the story, and his translation of puppy yipping into incessant questioning is particularly funny. The plot is familiar: older family members are initially jealous but ultimately protective of new additions. The unexpected point of view enhances the story.
