“Darla, why don’t you explain what happened first? Then, Erin, you’ll have a chance to tell the story from your point of view.” Darla took a deep breath. “If I don’t know what happened, I’ll be forced to punish you both,” Mr.

Darla and Erin shared a look but neither spoke. “Would either of you like to explain what happened?” Mr. They’d been called in for breaking the glass apple on Mrs. It gets up everything,' Mom said.ĭash's ears perked up.Darla and Erin sat in the principal’s office. Then, mom took Dash to get a new rope bone and he was the happiest puppy ever. He just had to accept that Sweeper was the new favorite dog in the house. Sweeper grabbed the end of Dash' rope bone and growled, leaving his rope frayed. The sweeper is hairless, does tricks, can go in the bathroom when Dash has to go outside, eats all the crumbs under the table and gets his own room. Who couldn't love a story about a cute, curious puppy? Dash was not only adorable but funny too! Dash thinks the new sweeper is another dog. Sweeper runs all over the house sucking up the left over food scraps, and he even gets his own room! But Dash won't give up his place as the favorite dog without a fight. May the Best Dog Win, was such a cute book! The illustrations were great and the story was so adorable!ĭash has the perfect life until the Super Sweeper 5000 shows up. The words are easy enough for earlier readers to read along aloud with their parents, too. His facial expressions remind me of Snoopy. Dash is cute and very friendly in the illustrations. This is a fun story young children will love to read even if they don’t have a dog. She kept saying, “Taz does that and he looks like that too when you vacuum the house, mom.” She also related to how a dog might think Sweeper was a threat. My soon to be 6 year old, on the other hand, kept laughing at Dash and how he thought the Super Sweeper 5000 was a dog. She loved the loveable Dash and seeing him express his disappointment in not being able to do what Sweeper was allowed to do like getting up on beds and eating the scraps from under the dining room table. My youngest (under 2 years old) didn’t really understand the story, but she did love the illustrations by Valerie Bouthyette. I read this story with my two little girls. Will Dash understand Sweeper isn’t a dog? It also seems Sweeper gets to run all over the house sucking up leftover food scraps and even gets his own room.

Dash thinks Sweeper is another dog and is not happy to be sharing his family. Dash is a dog that loves his human family and has the perfect life any dog could want until the Super Sweeper 5000 shows up.
