The Boy Who Ate Dog Biscuits Paperback - 1989

by Betsy Sachs

Billy really wants a dog. He's so dog crazy that he chews dog biscuits on the sly. But no matter how much he pleads, his parents won't listen. Then right before his birthday, Billy meets the dog of his dreams, a stray taken in by the local vet. Can Billy convince his parents that he's ready for a pet?


From the jacket flap

Billy Getten really wants a dog. He's so dog crazy that he eats dog biscuits! But Billy's parents won't give in. They say he's too irresponsible. Then Billy meets the dog of his dreams. Can Billy convince his parents that he's ready for a pet before the most wonderful dog in the world gets adopted by someone else?
"This short chapter book offers good role models; strong, three-generational family relationships; and a smooth message about friendship. The soft, expressive black-line drawings will help draw readers."--"Booklist
