 JD comes back from Juvie with only a week left before school starts. He has a lot to do before then: make up with his girlfriend, avoid revealing where he spent the summer, and above all else make sure that no one ever finds out why he was arrested. He's had a lot of time to plan what he's going to do, but there was one thing he wasn't expecting. While he was gone his mom adopted a dog. Not just any dog either, but a big Rottweiler with a past as shady as JD's. His mom called the dog Jon-Jon, but JD knows the perfect name for him: Johnny Rotten.
I love dog stories and I enjoyed watching JD and Johnny learn to trust each other and struggle to make things right after their past mistakes. Still, this isn’t your typical heart-warming dog story. JD and his friends aren't exactly model citizens and the tone of the story is true to Johnny's punk rock name.
