What this book is about
Kirkus's line on the Swindle books — "goofball-funny and addictive" — is the fairest summary of this fourth entry. The caper involves a sabotaged best-in-show beagle, a reclusive dog trainer, an international dog show and a great deal of red dye. Content is thin: chases, dog-related mayhem, and the running series problem that the protagonists' schemes involve breaking rules and occasionally laws. No violence to people, no profanity flagged, no sexual content.

Kids repeatedly break rules and laws as the premise of the humor
Trade reviews for this specific volume are brief, so scores rely on series-level Kirkus commentary and the publisher synopsis
