Ernie is a twelve-year-old tycoon, always on the lookout for a fast buck. This time he stumbles onto a money-making bonanza: pet funerals. He hires Dusty to decorate the burial boxes and Tony to dig the holes, but his prize find is Swimming Pool, a tomboy who can cry on cue...

Although his father has forbidden it, Ernie, a 12-year-old business tycoon, makes a tidy profit in the pet funeral business, but when he refuses to give his star employee a raise and the business starts to fall apart, it takes the death of his own dog to bring everyone back together...





An actor himself, Doug Cooney is uniquely suited to narrate this hilarious novel version of his acclaimed play about Ernie Castellano, a fast-talking wheeler-dealer kid, who has come up with his greatest idea yet-- pet funerals.
