Ocean's Eleven meets The Secret Life of Pets in this "classic
caper" (Booklist) following a ragtag group of pets who will do
whatever it takes to avoid being sent to the pound.
Butterbean knew she wasn't always a good dog. Still, she'd never
considered herself a BAD dog--until the morning that her owner, Mrs.
Food, fell in the hallway. Admittedly the tile was slipperier than
usual, mostly because Butterbean had just thrown up on it.
Now Butterbean and her fellow pets have to come up with a grand plan to
support themselves in case Mrs. Food is unable to keep taking care of
them. When they discover a mysterious man in their building who seems to
have lots of loot, they plan a heist. Oscar the mynah bird is the brains
of the operation. Walt the cat has the necessary slyness and slink.
Marco and Polo are the reconnaissance rats. And Butterbean...well, no
one would ever suspect a cute little wiener dog, right? Can these animal
friends can pull off the heist of the century?
