The second book in a brilliantly funny new series from bestselling Dirty Bertie author Alan MacDonald, about a boy and his incredible talking dog. Oscar's back … and he's got plenty to talk about! Sam had a very ordinary life, until Oscar the dog arrived on his doorstep. Because Oscar has a big secret – he can talk! In Sam and Oscar's second adventure, Sam's dad wants the whole family to get involved in his new business idea (a cafe with a rather unusual menu), but Sam's got other things to worry about when dogs start disappearing … can Sam and Oscar unmask the dastardly dognappers? A warm and funny series of doggy adventures, perfect for fans of Spydog, My Brother's Famous Bottom by Jeremy Strong, Horrid Henry and Pamela Butchart.

His series Troll Trouble (Bloomsbury) has been optioned for film by Twentieth Century Fox, and Alan has also published picture book The Prince of Pants (Scholastic) with the illustrator Sarah McIntyre. When not busy with books, Alan writes for children's TV series such as Horrid Henry, The Tweenies, Boo! and Fimbles.

I liked it because they set up a cafe which has dog food in it! My favourite character was Oscar because he was a dog who could talk. I would recommend it to anyone who likes dogs.

This book is about a talking dog and his owners. Some dogs get kidnapped by mean people and Oscar has to save them. The owners have a toast cafe which only serves toast. This book is really funny and I would recommend it.

This book was good. It was funny when all the dogs ran after the dognappers. Sam’s Dad was my favourite character because he was a lunatic! I would recommend this book.
Prince Burp Palm-tree 08.08.2021
I thought it was quite amazing because the dog named Oscar could talk, also it was quite funny because I liked the part when Mr Trusscot tried cheating but had to eat dog food.
Marshal Dragon Manatee 11.07.2021
I thought this book was a bit odd when I started it but then it made sense. The character I liked best was Oscar the dog because he saved the day when the toaster was about to blow! Yes I would recommend it.

Marshal Venus Dangerous 21.08.2020
I love it! I'd recommend this. My favourite character was Oscar, a very clever do that can talk, but only his owner Sam knows.
Marshal Mildred Bookmark 16.08.2020
My favourite character was Oscar because he was a talking dog. The book was amazing as the bad guys get brought to justice, the goood guys win and someone had to eat dog food. It was hilarious. I recommend this book to anyone who likes funny and exciting books. The saddest part of the book is that it isn't very long.
Master Burp Mouse 14.08.2020
It was very funny because near to the end the dogs chased the dognappers into the sea and they got surrounded by the angry dogs. Oscar the talking dog was my favourite because he can talk. Yes I would recommend it to 5-20 year olds
Viscount Pug Bucket 14.08.2020
It was good for people who really like dogs, but I don't like dogs much. The story line was good though.
Inspector Merlin Luther 11.08.2020
Oscar because he never ever gave up.

This book was ok if I would recommend to someone else I would give to someone who likes dogs. My favorite character was Sam because he figured out the mystery.
