About this title

Review:

We all know about sibling rivalry, but leave it to Ginny Mae Perkins to be jealous of the family dog! He doesn't have to say "please," he doesn't have to clean his room, or wear shoes, or deal with a tattling little brother, or ...

The solution: Ms. Perkins moves to the dog house to see how the canine half really lives, and discovers that "a dog's life" is far from the ideal existence it appears to be from the human side of the leash. Especially when there are pork chops for dinner.
