This is a fairly simple story. A boy and his dog. Except that the boy isn't exactly a boy, and the dog isn't HIS dog.And if he doesn't care properly for the dog, it's not like he doesn't care. In fact, he wants to give the dog treats his owner would forbid, such as buttered croissant. On the other hand, he isn't someone who should be dog-sitting, for he has so many other demands on his time and his attention.The characters in this character are very likeable, and the dog is treated with respect. The story, what there is of it, is well-written. The problem is that there isn't very much of it. Such rich and believable characters deserve a tightly-paced mystery story, twenty times as long as this one.
