The fourth SWINDLE book, centering around a dog show that goes horribly awry!
The heroes of SWINDLE, ZOOBREAK, and FRAMED are back - and this time, things have gone to the dogs! When Luthor goes berserk at a mall dog show, he's accused of ruining the career of the three-time best-in-show beagle. Griffin always knew that Luthor's viciousness was simmering just below the surface - so why does he feel bad enough to spring him from the pound?
Griffin and his team have a new plan. This one involves New York City, a sinister saboteur, a reclusive dog-trainer who's quit the business, an international dog show, and a whole lot of red dye. But if they pull it off, no one will even notice their sting operation...right?

From Booklist
When Savannah takes her huge, lumbering Doberman, Luthor, to see a champion dog show, it proves to be an ill-conceived move. Luthor causes a stage to collapse, injuring the three-time national champion, and resulting in a massive lawsuit against Savannah’s parents. Fortunately, Griffin Bing, the “Man with the Plan,” is on hand. Griffin and his friend Ben rescue Luthor from the pound and, unlikely as it seems, turn him into a champion show dog. The plot—which combines elements of farce and mystery—is entertaining and features the same characters as Korman’s three previous Man with the Plan books. Grades 3-6. --Todd Morning
