...or is this book a complete rip-off of Dogbreath by Dav Pilkey? Same basic plotline: dog about to be forcibly ejected from a family because of his odor problem, only to save the day by using said problem to knock out burglars. Hmm... All in all, I would recommend Dav Pilkey's book over this one. The illustrations are much cuter (Walter looks kinda creepy to me), and halitosis is less embarrassing than flatulence for adults to talk about with kids. Just my two cents' worth. :)
