Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
After Billy gets sent home for fighting with the bus bully, Randy, he's got extra time to do some community service. Inspired by a speech about bullies and mistreated animals from his grandmother, Billy decides to spend some time with the dogs down at the local pound. But he soon learns that walking dogs is no picnic. Can Billy survive the heat and exercise? Can he keep the dogs on leash and out of the butcher shop? Can Billy be a good citizen to all, even the bus bully?!
Ages 7-10.
When third-grader Billy Burger gets into a fight with the Randy, the school bully, he is suspended, and his parents, while sympathetic, assign him to volunteer for the Shake-a-paw Animal Shelter, which is not so bad, except for the dog poop--and proves to have unexpected benefits when the Randy corners him in an alley.
