When a flea bite swaps Barry's human mind for a dog's, he suddenly finds himself chasing squirrels, eating off the floor, and acting like a canine much to the confusion of his friends and family. The middle-grade adventure follows his attempts to navigate school, home, and his own identity while coping with the bizarre side effects of his new instincts. As he searches for a way to reverse the bite, Barry must balance his human responsibilities with his newfound animal urges.
