Junior is so excited--his human family is going on vacation, and they're going to the most magical place in the world--THE WOODS! All the sticks you could possibly want! Endless raccoons to chase! A lake to doggy-paddle in! It's a canine paradise! But all of Junior's best plans are ruined when Iona Stricker--the most miserable, cruel, and obedience-obsessed human you could ever meet--shows up and puts an end to his fun. That is, until a fugutive from the local animal shelter sneaks into camp and everything changes. This vacation might turn out to be fun after all!"--Provided by publisher.
