Meet Homer Pudding, an ordinary farm boy who's got big dreams-to follow in the footsteps of his famous treasure-hunting uncle. But when Uncle Drake mysteriously disappears, Homer inherits two things: a lazy, droopy dog with no sense of smell, and a mystery.
Why would his uncle call this clumsy dog his "most treasured possession?" And why did he put a gold coin on the dog's collar?
And who will continue Uncle Drake's quest-to find the most coveted pirate treasure in the world?
Join Homer, his sister Gwendolyn, and Dog on an adventure that will test their wits and courage as they leave their peaceful farm and head into a world where ruthless treasure hunters hide around every corner. Where they discover that Dog has a hidden talent and that treasure might be closer than they ever imagined...

Do you want to read a story about a dog that doesn’t make you cry? Well, Smells Like Dog by Suzanne Selfors is the book for you. This book takes place in modern days, and traverses through many different locations such as the pudding farm, the town of Milkydale, the big city, Ajitabh’s tower, the museum, and Madame’s lair. The protagonist is Homer Winslow Pudding. He is a 12 year old boy with big hopes of becoming a treasure hunter and becoming like his departed Uncle Drake. The antagonist is Madame le Directeur. She is the one who murdered Homer’s uncle because they were looking for the same map. The book focuses on a very droopy dog named Dog. He was Homer’s uncle’s most valued possession due to his secret treasure hunting abilities. The first conflict in the story is that Homer’s father will not let him pursue his treasure hunting dreams. The second and larger conflict is that Madame Le Directeur is looking for the same map that Homer is, and is willing to kill him to get it. The turning point is when Homer’s uncle’s most treasured possession is delivered to him after the death of his uncle. This possession turned out to be a very droopy dog with a mysterious coin that throws Homer into his treasure hunting dream. This book was great. It was funny, mysterious, and very enjoyable. I recommend it to everyone with a sense of adventure.

love this book
At first I only read this book to get ar points but then After about maybe pg 30 I was hooke and started reading the whole series Please check this book out
looks good.I'm confused whether it's a good book or not though.Either people say it is good or they say it's not.
It's alright . . . I guess. I had to read this for Battle of The Books a couple of years ago. The thing is, it's kind of a complicated plot, and if you miss something, you end up confused for the rest of the book. There are just too many characters and names to remember to make this really worth reading. And I'm not easily confused. I am, however, easily bored.
This book is just, well weird. Seriously eaten by a tortoise?
i am in battle of the books at school and it is amazing i it cool when he is figuring out what he is tring to find
I read it for Battle of the Books too! It is a really good book.
Another good book. It is about a dog who can smell treasure and a boy who goes to the city w/ his sister. They go through an evil woman and a MAN EATING TORTOISE!!!!!! Will they get their treasure? Read this book to find out.
this book is awesome it talks about about a dog who was a stor when he was a regular dog
