After a surprise encounter with their old enemy Bull, Pierre and Dare are dognapped and taken to the big city, where they are kept with other stolen dogs awaiting purchase from an unscrupulous pet store owner. Meanwhile, the rest of the Prairie Dogs hop on a train to find their friends. They luck into a TV news van that leads them right to Pierre and Dare, holed up in a TV studio with their new puppies. Everyone's hungry-and they have to get back to Mr. Abrams. Then Dare has a great idea. Suddenly, the Prairie Dogs are on the air!
Sequel to Glenda's highly praised The Prairie Dogs!
"As in
Prairie Dogs, the humour in
City Dogs is delightful. The characters, again, are the dogs who add their own humour to the story as they are naive but loveable. . . Although it is a sequel, this book can also stand alone and would appeal to a variety of readers, including readers of animal fiction and adventure stories.
City Dogs would be an excellent class novel for individual reading or as a read aloud choice. It would be an excellent addition for personal, class, school and public libraries.
Highly recommended."
