As the target of the class bully, Abbie has always dreamed of having a big, strong dog. When he cares for his aunt's Yorkshire terrier, he is disappointed with the tiny dog, named Cat. Predictably, he grows to love Cat and learns about the unimportance of size. In the end, his aunt gives him the dog. There are no surprises here; still, this is a brisk, humorous read for kids who love dog stories.
