Dog in the Dugout (Softball Star) (Volume 3) Jody Studdard

Fifteen-year-old Angel Williams has wanted a puppy for all of her life, so she is ecstatic when her dad finally agrees she can get one - but only on one condition. She has to hit a home run in her softball game later in the day. Much to Angel's delight, she does, and she is rewarded with an adorable chocolate Labrador named Homer. Homer becomes her team's mascot, and he leads them on their quest to win the state championship. But when Homer is injured in a freak accident, can Angel and the rest of the team continue without him?

Dog in the Dugout is the third book in Jody Studdard's Softball Star series.  It is also available in a compilation (Softball Star), which includes the earlier books in the series: A Different Diamond and Fastpitch Fever.

All of the books in the Softball Star series are unique, independent stories.  They are not sequels.  As such, they can be read in any order.
