Hotel for Dogs (2011)
“Andi said. “You can’t break a promise, Bruce, no matter what.”
“But don’t you see, I didn’t know what I was promising! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have promised.”
Bruce regarded his sister with exasperation. Andi was the most interesting person he knew, even if she was part of his family. There were things wrong with her, to be sure — she was always shutting herself off someplace with her scribbling, and she had a bad temper, and sometimes she told lies. But she was never boring. Most of the boys ...he knew complained about their sisters being drags. With Andi it was just the opposite; she never dragged. Sometimes, like now, Bruce almost wished that she did.
“Look, sis,” he said as patiently as he could, “you know as well as I do that we can’t keep dogs here. Mom and Dad explained it to us before we left home, and you heard Aunt Alice at dinner tonight. All you have to do is mention the word ‘dog’ and her nose starts dripping.”
