Cute book! Even my 4 year old son seemed to enjoy listening to this one. This is the first book we have read in this series and we'll be looking for more!

Emily (5 1/2): Why did Lulu (the dog) run away? She didn't know not to run away. She had to go to obedience school to learn to sit, stay, and no. Then she was very good, but she gave an evil smile at the end to be naughty to Emily (Luke's younger sister). The End

Wonderful story about a dog’s development. Wished there were sufficient more of stories not unlike this one.
