**Junior, the first dog author to make the New York Times bestseller list, tells his latest howlarious tale of going off-leash in the wilderness.​**

Junior is so excited--his human family is going on vacation and this time they're taking him with them. And they're going to the most magical place in the world--THE WOODS! All the sticks you could possible 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 fugitive from the local animal shelter sneaks into camp and everything changes.

This vacation might turn out to be fun after all!
