It’s time for a change, so Dominic packs his collection of hats and his piccolo and heads out, letting the world take him where it may. When Dominic encounters members of the Doomsday Gang, he easily foils their attempt to rob him. Legend of his victory quickly spreads, and each new friend Dominic meets tells him a story of their own less-fortunate meeting with the villains, and asks for help from the heroic dog. But can one lone dog bring down an entire band of hooligans?

and well known as the good guy. If your tired of your usual adventure books this is the perfect book for you. It has action, comedy, drama, sadness, and a little romance. He receives many gifts and a special weapon that helps him defeat all the bad guys.

In my opinion this is one of my favorite books. I read this book when I was about seven years old. It really is one of the greatest books ever because it hold so many good things you want in a book. If i could i would reread this book again. I really do recommend this book for all ages, it is a very great book the just sticks to you. William Steig did a very good job on this book. I look forward to reading more books from him.
