Paranoid Pip by Yvonne Sherwell

This was an interesting book. It was written from the perspective of the mother in the story, but it is about the dog that they acquire. The dog is Pip. He is a wire-haired terrier. This dog is constantly getting in trouble. The first part is about how the mother relates to the dog. He ends up saving her from being raped.
The second part is about the relationship with the children. The kids are from New York and visit their grandmother in a small town. Drugs start coming into the community and the kids are blamed. Pip figures out what is really going on.
The third part is the father’s relationship with the dog. The father seems to hate the dog. By the end of this part the dog has done something major for the father.
The last part is the dog’s relationship with everyone. He becomes a famous singing dog who is kidnapped. The end of the book is very funny.
This book has its serious moments but for the most part it had me laughing and really interested. I enjoyed this book. It was very interesting to read what this family went through.
