I actually liked the first half of the book as we meet a timid and anxious Pug who is taken to an obedience training class to help him get over his reluctance to face the scary world. He is immediately terrified of a pit bull he meets there but slowly learns to see past stereotypes to find that appearance doesn't dictate who might be a friend and who might be a bully.

Unfortunately, the hijinks around a final obstacle course competition are just too cheesy and groan inducing for me to tolerate.
