 Mallory has a perfectly good pet cat named Cheeseburger so why do her parents allow her older brother, Max, to get a puppy?  Naming the puppy becomes a family affair and soon Champ has captured everyone’s time and attention.  Feeling left out and forgotten by her parents who are into Champ’s training big time, Mallory’s anger festers.  Mallory just can’t seem to follow any of the vet’s training tips which only feeds her frustrations.  When she accidentally leaves the door open and Champ escapes, Mallory feels worse.  Will Champ return home to his family again?  Will Max and Mallory ever get over their sibling rivalry?  This book holds all the answers!  (Jean B.
