Dogtown is a shelter for stray dogs, misbehaving dogs, and discarded robot dogs, whose owners have outgrown them. Chance, a real dog, has been in Dogtown since her owners unwittingly left her with irresponsible dog-sitters who skipped town, Metal Head is a robot dog who dreams of being back in a real home, and Mouse is a mouse who has the run of Dogtown, pilfering kibble, and performing clever feats to protect the dogs he loves . . .
Join Chance and Metal Head as they embark on an adventure to find their forever homes in Dogtown, a unique novel that blends an uplifting story with page-turning adventure that is sure to find a forever home in its readers' hearts.
"Angular black-and-white line drawings highlight the humorously sketched canine cast, while brief chapters that explore species divides promise to captivate anyone who enjoys rooting for a couple of down-on-their-luck dogs getting a second chance." -- Publishers Weekly
