Hal wants a dog, but his doting parents, who normally give him everything they think he could possibly want, refuse. The mess would be outrageous, according to his mother. Hal's father comes up with a solution. He will rent a dog for the weekend. But what his parents do not realize, Hal and the dog, Fleck, are soulmates. When Fleck is returned, Hal takes matters I his own hands and sets off to rescue him from the rental agency and runaway to his grandparents. With the help of Pippa and some other escaped rental dogs, the crew set off on a grand adventure. This book was a bit hard to get into, but really took off once Hal and Pippa escape London. Overall quite a good read. I thought this was an amazing book about what a boy will do to keep the friendship with his dog. The ending of this book was very great because Kale got to have her own animal protection place and now Hal's parents have changed for the better.and when Albina returned all of those things I was so shocked. I'm glad that Hal's dad is being kind to his parents and that Hal got to keep Fleck and he get's to stay with his grandparents for a month. My favorite part was when they were at the circus and they had to train the dogs to do the wedding and when Pippa came up with the lie and when there was a twist to the act. I give this book a five star because it was a really outstanding and well written book.
