Dog Trouble
by Kristin Varner

He volunteers at the local animal shelter, even though he's not really a dog person. Dogs slobber! They smell! And the dogs at the shelter bark, bark, and bark. But as Ash bonds with the dogs--especially Cooper, a clever, fun-loving pointer that gives sloppy kisses--he starts to see that maybe his time on Ferncliff Island isn't a total loss.
