Official synopsis Publisher
Mr. Lunch, the professional bird-chasing dog, never expected his canoe trip to turn into a transatlantic doggie-paddle. And never did he imagine he’d wash ashore in Venice, where the streets are paved with water, and the plazas are paved with…PIGEONS! It’s nothing less than the opportunity of a lifetime. Who could imagine a better dog for the job? “Campy yet childlike, sophisticated yet frankly silly, the Mr. Lunch books exert a quirky charm that is hard…to resist.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review. J.otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh also collaborated on Mr. Lunch Takes a Plane Ride (Viking/Puffin), Monkey Business, and Free Lunch (both Viking).
