Mason Dixon is a nine-year-old only child whose parents think it would be great for him to have a pet for company. Mason is not thrilled with the idea of a pet and has one disastrous pet experience after another. His best friend Brody, an energetic optimist, convinces Mason's parents to adopt a dog next. Will the dog finally warm Mason's heart, or are more disasters ahead?
This hilarious book about outcomes of parents' best intentions is sure to make kids giggle! Mason's attempts to handle the barrage of pets that arrive at his house and a summer art camp in which his mom has enrolled him against his will are genuine, heartfelt and funny. Brody's character adds even more humor to the story, making it a winner for pessimists (like Mason) and optimists (like Brody) alike! Readers who love this book will be delighted to read its sequels next.
