An autonomous dog adopts a lonely human, teaches him some tricks, and makes a new best friend. Expressive watercolor illustrations show who’s top dog. (5–8)

Our Young Reviewer says:
Zach loved this book. He was able to read it himself. He thought the concept was funny and silly. A very sweet story. Simple enough but heartwarming. At the end, Zach said, “Awww…”
