Readers who loved Guinea Dog have been sitting, begging, and rolling over for a sequel. The beloved Patrick Jennings returns with the follow up to his award-winning and state list hogging title!
 
When his classmates learn about Fido, the guinea pig that acts like a dog, they all want a piece of Rufus, her owner. But Rufus hates the attention, the demands, the "celebrity." So he decides to make Fido learn how to be an actual guinea pig. But when she goes missing, he feels terrible. Was she lost, "dognapped," or did she run away, because he no longer liked her just the way she was? 

Offering the same offbeat humor and pacing of the first Guinea Dog, this novel will prove to be a reader's best friend.

"PLAYFUL, QUICK-PACED"

"FRESH AND FUNNY"

"LEAVES READERS BEGGING"

KIRKUS REVIEWS, August 27, 2013

 (NOTE: SPOILER ALERT!)

"Jennings picks up where Guinea Dog (2010) left off in this playful, quick-paced tale that touches on some common dilemmas for middle graders.

Short chapters and a slightly larger-than-usual font make this an easy read. Rufus is a snappy narrator, and his fumbling observations about his parents, himself, his friends and his situation are fresh and funny. Youngsters will relate as Rufus learns to say no, feel grateful for his friends (whether boy or girl) and make right his relationship with Fido, whose weight gain was for a very good reason.

With the introduction of Fido’s gifted progeny, Jennings leaves readers begging for another absurd adventure." (Animal fantasy. 8-12)
