'A perfect story to tickle the funny bone of any young reader!' MEGAN RIX 
 
AAAAAAAAAAAGH! 
 
Something terrible is going on, my person-pal! Something so DREADFUL, it’s enough to curl your tail with TERROR (if you have one, of course)... 
 
A spine-jangling HOWLING has been heard in the middle of the night, favorite toys have been STOLEN, trash bags have been SHREDDED and all the best pee-spots have been RE-SCENTED! 
 
It must have something to do with the NIGHT OF THE HOWLY WIENER, which is only days away… 
 
Can I find the evil mastermind who is TERRIER-izing our town?!

In the fourth book in the hilarious Dog Diaries series, it's Halloween and Junior sets out to uncover the identity of a mystery mutt who is terrorising the town
