There's a Dog in My Brain: Dog Show Disaster cover

A magical body swap leads to chaos as a boy and his dog navigate a dog show, facing challenges and humorous situations in There's a Dog in My Brain: Dog Show Disaster.

In There's a Dog in My Brain: Dog Show Disaster, the whimsical adventure begins when Dudley, a mischievous dog, dreams of indulging in all the delicious cakes within reach. His wish comes true in the most unexpected way when he magically swaps bodies with his owner, Danny, a ten-year-old boy. This sudden transformation brings about a hilarious turn of events, as Danny finds himself struggling to adapt to his new canine life while Dudley revels in the freedom of being a human. With Dudley now able to explore the world without restrictions, chaos is inevitable.

As the story unfolds, the duo faces a significant challenge: the local dog show, where they must confront the formidable dog trainer, Rex Power, and his impeccably trained pooch, Princess Fenella. The stakes are high, and both Danny and Dudley must navigate the complexities of their new roles. Danny must be on his best behavior while Dudley, who is not exactly the most disciplined dog, attempts to fit into the human world. This comedic clash of personalities leads to a series of laugh-out-loud moments and unexpected mishaps.

There's a Dog in My Brain: Dog Show Disaster is a delightful tale of friendship, mischief, and the bond between a boy and his dog. It captures the essence of childhood imagination and the humorous challenges that arise when two very different beings must work together to overcome obstacles, all while trying to win a dog show and prove their worth.

Those with a penchant for pooches, slapstick and perhaps cake will relish Caroline Green’s romp, that’s if it doesn’t render them barking mad. Rikin Parekh’s black and white illustrations add to the hilarity. * Red Reading Hub *
