Return of the Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Dog

Streaker’s jet-propelled running causes fresh problems when she enters the local dog show. She needs to do well to avoid trouble with the police, while Trevor risks facing Charlie Smugg all over again.

Lost The Hundred-Mile-An-Hour Dog

Streaker ends up truly lost after trying to protect pies from a pie robber. Far from home and separated from Trevor, she must even make friends with a cat, before things get “hairier” when a baboon appears.

Kidnapped The Hundred-Mile-an-Hour Dog's Sizzling Summer
