It was good, only complaint is that we didnt find out what the dog thiefs punishment is. It was awesome seeing neil and emily at new york alone on vacation staying with their old neighbors. And all the doggie aspects in it

I liked this book because it had a lot of facts about New York. I guess you could say it's a mystery but I refer to it as a New York adventure more. I feel sorry for the dog because he doesn't really have anyone he can trust fully except for his real owners, which is what the kids are trying to figure out.
