Hahahaha. Oh having grown up with dogs--namely beagles who cannot listen worth a crap--I can understand Lulu. A dog who is not cut out for special trainings. It's just not her. She would rather dig and chase and smell ;)

Based on a story of a dog who failed her CIA training. I love it!

Only thing.....the illustrations include beagles as graduating from training. Yeah that ain't gonna happen! ;)

3.5 stars. Cute! I liked this even more after reading the author's note at the end. I would have liked to have that note moved to the front or worked more into the story up front so the rest of the story flowed out of the proper context.

Fun little story with a good message about being yourself and finding a place to belong.

Lulu's owner tries to train her to be a police dog, but Lulu is "very Lulu" and has her own ideas of what she wants to do.

Lulu is learning to be a police dog. Instead of learning to obey orders and look for clues, Lulu is tearing up things and running and playing. What will become of Lulu?

A joyful story about finding your place in the world with a happily-ever-after ending.
