"This chapter book-already popular in France, where it has been made into a hit TV show-is for kids who can appreciate a little more action and a lot more voice in their reading. (There's more than a hint of Lemony Snicket's dark hilarity in Gutman's writing.)"-Jenny Rosenstrach, The New York Times Dumpster Dog dreams of treats, balls, and leashes-he wants someone to play with, someone who will take him on long walks, someone who will feed him-he wants an owner. So begins Dumpster Dog's search for a human companion. But he will soon learn that finding a good owner isn't as easy as it sounds, and that the world can be a dangerous place.
