The DOG with the OPPOSABLE THUMB

by Mark Barkawitz

Overview

When an accidentally DNA-altered puppy is born with a thumb, his lovelorn, grad-student caretaker devises a strategy to achieve their Kardashian-like fame and fortune. But what goes up . . . must inevitably fall back down in this tale of unrequited love and 21st century celebrity.

Howlingly good fun!
