In book three, same-name friends Sidney (sporty boy) and Sydney (fashion-loving girl) start a dog-walking company. Sidney hopes their endeavor will show his parents he's responsible enough for his own dog, but (predictably) dog walking is more difficult than the two expect. Entertaining alternating narratives depict independent-minded third graders, but the kids seem older than eight in both the text and the abundant color illustrations.

Everyone loves dogs, right? That seems to be the one thing that Sidney, Sydney, Gomez, and Harley can agree on. What they can't agree on is how to run their new dog walking business. From who makes the posters to who picks up the poop, the foursome is off to a slow start. Big dog decisions must be made, but what will the end result be?
