Spike is one ugly dog!--and he's got the award to prove it (Ugliest Dog in the Universe, that is). But Spike's life turns bad the next day when his owner abandons him. Joe, the boy next door, takes Spike home with him; but Joe's mom doesn't want to keep Spike either. Poor Spike -- looks like he's headed for the dog pound. That is, until he rescues Evangeline, the beautiful award-winning white cat from a kidnapping (catnapping might be more like it). Now Spike is the local hero and has a real home with Joe and his mom. Minnesota author and illustrator Debra Frasier has found a new way to tell a story; this time using old worn blue jeans to create collage pictures of Spike and Joe. Evangeline--well she's too beautiful for blue jeans--she's made from a lace wedding gown. You really have to see the illustrations to believe them; and don't miss this positive story about friends and pet ownership.
