A veterinarian once said, "There are two kinds of dogs, athletes and wimps." He didn't mention that there is a third kind of dog: The trickster. Boo was a bluetick Coonhound trickster. From the very first day that he arrives at his adoptive family's home, he causes trouble. He continuously plays tricks on his family, and quickly figures out how to escape from the family home whenever he has a mind to. When loose, he runs through the neighborhood baying and causing a ruckus. His favorite pastimes are knocking over trashcans on collection day and going to the local playground to steal the children's balls. Irate neighbors call the local police and Boo's family gets citations for allowing the dog to run loose. After an altercation with a grumpy old man who lives across the street, a police officer informs the family that Boo could be deemed a community nuisance and sent to the pound. Five year old Chrissy loves Boo more than anything. She is afraid that she might lose her dog and begs her father to take whatever measures are necessary to keep Boo in the yard. Can Chrissy's dad do what it will take to keep Boo home, or will he continue to run around the neighborhood causing trouble?
