This gripping examination of the empty moral values and mindless violence of three bored preteens is depicted without judgment and without sensationalism. The leader is Marty, a hyperactive boy with a natural talent for violence and destruction. One day he is bored and decides to rob a local house beside the railroad tracks. He enlists the aid of two friends and they end up holding a woman and her wheel-chair bound husband hostage while they callously destroy their home.

Pugs in leis at a birthday party, a dancing poodle named Ivana, a bat-swinging border collie, even a shepherd that shoots its owner in the back with a shotgun—these are just a few of the outrageous details of the reverent homages that Shereen Jerrett has included in the humane and hysterical Dog Stories.
