Dear Mrs. LaRue

When Ike Larue is "imprisoned" at the Igor Brotweiler Canine Academy, he tries everything to get sent home--weepy letters to his owner, even illness. In reality, Brotweiler is more like camp than prison, but still, Ike's not cut out for life without Mrs. Larue & his creature comforts. Finally, he runs away only to find himself back in Snort City--just in time to save Mrs. Larue's life.

Ike's plans for a peaceful cruise with Mrs. LaRue are thwarted when Mrs. Hibbins' cats come along.
