After being stung by a bee, dog Fenway's "Cone of Doom" leaves him unable to "defend" his home from chipmunks (or lick his injured paw). Hardly the ideal patient, Fenway causes mischief until his paw finally heals and the cone is removed. Despite Fenway's repetitive and somewhat annoying antics, dog lovers should enjoy this latest tale from his humorous canine point of view.

Fenway the dog enjoys playing with his girl Hattie (Fenway and Hattie) and "defending" their yard from squirrels. When Hattie brings home a pet rabbit, Fenway thinks the stranger is a threat, but his attempts to "protect" the household land him in trouble. While Fenway's misunderstandings can be tiresome, his humorous dog's-eye worldview and sincere devotion to Hattie should continue to please fans.

Puppy Fenway is upset when his girl, Hattie, pays more attention to baseball and her human friends than to him. Thinking her baseball glove is the problem, Fenway hatches a plan to get the old Hattie back. While Fenway's antics become repetitive, the relatable worry about friends drifting apart, combined with the dog's-eye view of human behavior, make this an engaging read.
