Books in "Dogtown"
High up in the rafters of the Dogtown shelter lives Mouse. While the pens below are filled with real dogs and robot dogs waiting for families, Mouse is perfectly happy hiding out where the kibble is plentiful. He even has a best friend: Buster, a big-hearted real dog who seems to attract trouble everywhere he goes.
When Mouse decides that Buster deserves a real forever home, he goes on a brave mission to make it happen. He teams up with a funny group of dogs that no one seems to want to adopt. There is Stewie, a giant dog who is actually a huge softie, and Smokey, a robot dog whose built-in smoke alarm goes off at the worst times. Even though Mouse is tiny, his courage is huge. He will do whatever it takes to help the dogs he loves find the perfect families.
