Summary:
In this book, the pictures tell most of the story. Carl is a Rottweiler who is supposed to take care of Madeleine. In this adventure, their family goes to the dog show. He and Madeleine get into some trouble while there. This funny picture book depicts the love that Carl and Madeleine share with one another and how you can be best friends with your pet. This book is a part of a larger series of other books about Carl and Madeleine. This series holds a special place in my heart because my mom used to read these books to me when I was young. We had a family pet that was a Rottweiler, Nicky. Carl reminds me a lot of Nicky, so this book brings back wonderful memories.
