Kitten the Dog

This is the story of a chihuahua that, well, couldn’t meow
Little Margi had always wanted a cat for a pet. And when her father brings home a cat-like dog instead, she takes it upon herself to make the best cat out of him. So Kitten is made to receive daily lessons on how to be a good feline and, although this confuses him, he tries his dogged best.
But one day, recalling all the things his mother had taught him young, a desperate Kitten runs away in pursuit of loftier—and canine—adventures.
On an excursion by turns thrilling and perilous, who knows where Kitten might land up next? Shipped off to a new home, reunited with a heartbroken Margi, stranded in a dog-eat-dog world or on to braving the next big adventure—all bets are off!
