About the Book

Down Girl and Sit work hard at training their masters to behave. Masters need to understand the following:
- Cats and squirrels are dangerous.
- Dogs need attention so they won’t act bad to the bone.
- Dogs should be called by the right names in obedience class.
- Dogs need treats like doughnuts just as humans do.

Down Girl and Sit stay very busy as they try to keep their masters in line—with mixed results!

Lucy Nolan lives in Columbia, South Carolina.

Mike Reed lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
