About this listen

Chance, a real dog, has been in the Dogtown shelter since her owners unwittingly left her with irresponsible dog-sitters who skipped town.

Metal Head is a robot dog who dreams of being back in a real home. And Mouse is a mouse who has the run of Dogtown, pilfering kibble and performing clever feats to protect the dogs he loves.

When Chance and Metal Head embark on an adventure to find their forever homes, they find danger, cheese sandwiches, a charging station, and some unexpected kindnesses along the way.

Critic reviews

'Newbery Medalist Applegate and Newbery Honoree Choldenko team up for this uplifting escape novel...' (Publishers Weekly)

'Super short chapters, perhaps suggesting a dog's alleged limited attention span, keep the novel's pace moving briskly toward a climax sure to please animal lovers despite a few sad moments along the way.' (School Library Journal)
