Twelve-year-old Kevin Pugh is the son of a former Chicago Bears star football player. Unfortunately, Kevin is not a chip off the old block. He is much better at gaming with Madden football than playing the real game. His dog, Cromwell, is a couch potato too. One day, while lying on the couch, Kevin and Cromwell watch a dog agility contest on TV. Cromwell is mesmerized by the event and this is the beginning of new chapter in Kevin and Cromwell's life. They enroll in Paw Patch, a dog agility training school. And they meet Elka, Paw Patch's slightly mystic trainer. Over the summer, the two begin their transformation from loafers to athletes. And when Paw Patch holds its' yearly dog agility championship, Kevin and Cromwell surprise everyone. But the race isn't over yet. Will they succeed beyond even their wildest dreams? Read, "The Fast and the Furriest" to find out. A great sports book for fifth and sixth graders. And a great story for dog lovers too. -gw-
