(4) YA After seventeen-year-old Katie adopts a dog, her life goes from bad to worse, but once she enrolls the crazy mutt in obedience classes, things begin to look up. The self-confidence Katie gleans by managing her pet also improves the other relationships in her life. The novel as a whole, including the many dog scenes, wavers between predictable and charming.
