Tired of attending obedience school, Sparky the puppy finds adventure in Hawaii after chomping on the magic bone.

Sparky the sheepdog puppy digs up a magic bone that transports him to London, where he makes new friends, sees the sites, and gets into a bit of trouble.

When he is left home alone, Sparky the puppy bites his magic bone and begins an adventure touring the sites in Washington, D.C. with a new friend, but Sparky isn't sure he's happy exploring the city without his family.

"Yeehaw, Sparky is off to the Texas rodeo to find himself a job! There he eats delicious-smelling BBQ, watches mutton chasing and barrel racing, and even helps a new friend become a rodeo dog. But as Sparky heads home, he still doesn't have a job himself. Wait, he has the very best job of all--being Josh's best friend!"--

"When Sparky's magic bone blasts him to Tokyo, Japan, he discovers a whole new world--one with karaoke, 'squishy fishy' and sumo wrestlers! His new friend, an Akita named Nanami, guides him around the city, until Sparky loses her in a crowd. But it turns out Nanami isn't just any Akita. She's the queen of the Ninja Dogs--a fierce group who are convinced that Sparky has kidnapped her".

"G'day, mate! Sparky's magic bone has kaboomed him to Kangaroo Island, Australia, where he meets a puppy with no family. Wanting to help his new friend, Sparky hops into action. They visit bats, penguins, bees, and of course, kangaroos. But can Sparky help the lost pup find a real home?"--Back cover.

One bite of his magic bone and Sparky is in the Big Apple where, with his new friend Barney as a guide, he sees all the famous New York sights, including his favorite, the Broadway theaters.
