I've got so much to tell you about: How I protect the yard from birds, raccoons, squirrels, raccoons, mail carriers...and did I mention RACCOONS? These were all the most paw-some parts of my doggie life—until the evil Mrs. Stricker threatened to send me back to the pound if I didn't learn to behave.

You'll never guess what, my person-pal...I'm going to Hollywood! And, what's even better? All my best mutt-mates are coming with me! But my dreams of being talent-spotted while walking down streets paved with sausage meat don't quite come true. And when the vacation takes a very unexpected turn, I'll need to find a way to escape a living nightmare and get us all home!

I have something very im-paw-tant to tell you.... I was with my mutt mates in the dog park when we saw something monstrous through the trees...I recognised it straight away. It was a huge dino-roar! Now, I know what you're thinking - dino-roars don't exist anymore, right? Wrong. I spotted one in the flesh, well in the bone.... And it smelt tail-waggingly tasty! I followed its sniff-a-licious scent to the biggest building I've ever seen, and the smells coming from inside were the most dusty, moldy, oldy, dirt-lectable whiffs I've ever wrapped my snout around.

Something terrible is going on, my person-pal! Something so DREADFUL, it’s enough to curl your tail with TERROR (if you have one, of course)...A spine-jangling howling has been heard in the middle of the night, favorite toys have been stolen, trash bags have been shredded and all the best pee-spots have been re-scented! It must have something to do with the night of the howly wiener, which is only days away....
