From the Back Cover
It was Cookie that got us started on our life of crime. Not that he was called Cookie back then. He was just the puppy that lived next door. We didn't know that he would soon be ours. That we'd have to save his life. Or that he would lead us into such Big Trouble ...

A crazy adventure about friendship, family, pets - and a plan that spirals out of control.
