Review: Flawed Dogs is about a dachshund named Sam. Once, he had an owner named Heidy. Cassius, a poodle, was jealous of Sam, so he lets the other humans think Sam is trying to kill a baby. Sam was sent to a pound called the National Last-Ditch Depository. Sam escapes from the pound. Then, he learns that Cassius will be attending the Westminester dog show. Sam decides to try to keep Cassius from winning with the dogs he met at the pound. How will Sam stop Cassius? One reason I liked this book is because it is funny.

Sam the Lion is actually a priceless dachshund, bred to be a show dog. More important, he is Heidy's best friend—and she needs one like never before. Living with her reclusive uncle is hard, but Sam has a way of making her feel soft and whole. Until the day Sam is framed by the jealous poodle Cassius, and is cast out by Heidy's uncle, alone on the wild streets, where he is roughed up by a world he was not bred for. Sporting a soup ladle for a leg, Sam befriends other abandoned dogs and journeys all the way to the Westminster Dog Show, where his plan for revenge on Cassius takes an unexpected turn when he and Heidy spot each other after years of being apart.
Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Berkeley Breathed's first illustrated novel is a heartwarming and humorous ode to the unconditional and lasting love we and our pets share.
