★ 互相討厭的兩隻狗想回家，於是他們踏上一場既危險卻又充滿溫馨的冒險之旅
 
　　Dogtown是一處狗狗的收容所，這裡有流浪狗、表現不好的狗，還有機器狗。狗狗們被丟棄在這裡，因為主人已經不愛他們了。Dogtown裡最受歡迎的狗叫做Chance，他是一隻可愛但有點內向的邊境牧羊犬，被不負責任的狗保母丟棄，就這樣在Dogtown住了下來。這裡還住了一隻機器狗叫Metal Head，他一直想回自己真正的家。Chance與Metal Head處得並不愉快，因為機器狗總是比真狗先被收養，但隨著相處的時間增加，兩隻狗逐漸建立起友誼。有一天，Chance與Metal Head決定踏上尋家之旅，冒險的路上有各式各樣的危機，但也有美味可口的乳酪三明治，以及一些意想不到的善意⋯⋯
 
　　《Dogtown》書中有各式各樣可愛的狗狗，主角Chance有時會有充滿睿智的發言，例如：「你的心是一塊肌肉，用得越多越強壯」，在帶給讀者歡笑的同時，也有許多值得思考的時刻。

　　From beloved authors Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko, Dogtown is an uplifting story and a page-turning adventure.

　　Dogtown is a shelter for stray dogs, misbehaving dogs, and discarded robot dogs, whose owners have outgrown them.

　　Chance, a real dog, has been in Dogtown since his owners unwittingly left him 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, there is danger, cheese sandwiches, a charging station, and some unexpected kindnesses along the way.
