He only hopes he can stay under the radar when he starts high school in the fall, his first experience with public school after years of homeschooling. But when a favor for a neighbor and his stinky canine companion unexpectedly turns into a bustling dog-walking business, Louis finds himself meeting an unprecedented number of new friends—both human and canine. Agatha, a quippy and cagey girl his age always seems to be telling two truths and a lie. Cyrus, a few years his senior, promises he’s going to show Louis how to be a better person, whether Louis wants him to or not. And then there are the dogs: misbehaving border terriers, the four (possible stolen) sausage dogs, the rest of Louis’s charges, and a mysterious white beast who appears at a certain spot at the edge of the woods. </span><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; outline: none; text-align: left;" /><br clear="none" style="background-color: white; color: #212121; outline: none; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: left;">Dogs and human alike all seem to have something they want to teach Louis, including his menacing older brother who keeps turning up everywhere.
