Lang, Heidi
Rules of the ruff / Heidi Lang - New York ABRAMS the Art of Books 2018 - 249p.
Twelve-year-old Jessie is in for a long summer at her aunt and uncle's house. Her cousin Ann has a snotty new best friend, which leaves Jessie all alone. But Jessie is dynamic, and - not content with being ignored all summer - she convinces Wes, a grouchy neighbourhood dog walker, to take her on as his apprentice. Sure, dog walking turns out to be more complicated than she expected, but she has Wes's dog-walking code, the Rules of the Ruff, to guide her, and soon she's wrangling her very own pack. But when a charismatic rival dog walker moves to town, she quickly snatches up most of Wes's business - and Jessie decides she isn't going to take this defeat with her tail between her legs.
