This book is an oldie but a goodie. Pinkerton is a Great Dane, who has a lot of trouble learning their commands. So much so they flunk out of obeisance school. However, when the house is invaded by a burglar Pinkerton will save the day, even if the family has to use the “wrong” commands to get the “right” answer. This book has been banned, but also “fixed” by the author to take out references of guns after Sandy Hook. It was the author that approached the publisher about the new edition for it’s 30th anniversary. ( )

A fun read for young readers that provides a simple story about the challenging learning of a dogs obedience

Unruly but genial pooch puts his bad habits to good use on a burglar. Fun story in a "revised and re-illustrated" edition which I have not seen so I cannot compare. ( )

A children’s book that has great children’s humor. I could be a good read for just about anyone.

A disobedient dog who even gets kicked out of obedience school saves the family one night when a burglar breaks into the home. ( )
