Beware the pirate dogs of the Catibbean!   Rolo’s field trip goes awry when Jack Bones and his houndrel crew steal back their pirate ship from the museum. Rolo is now trapped at sea, with ruffians who have never met a hooman before, so teen dog Jojo promises to help him get home. On their voyage, Rolo learns the truth of how the Felion Empire banished the houndrels, who turned to piracy to feed their families, with the relentless Commodore Caterwaul always on their tails. As the cats and dogs fight on the high seas, so do Jojo and her father, who has been keeping secrets. Jojo begs the old sea dogs to end the war, but they won’t listen, not until catastrophe erupts. A stirring journey of loyalty, lies, family, and a cuddly kraken.
