From School Library Journal:
Grade 3-5?Jake's dog, Lance, and Jake's friend Andy accidentally exchange bodies when an experimental switching machine is activated. Now it is up to the boy and his other friends to figure out a means to reverse the situation before anyone else finds out. Humorous close calls arise, including the threat of taking Lance (really Andy) to obedience school and a groomer. Eventually, they are able to corral the two victims back to the machine, only to undergo a partial switch. The story concludes with Andy still exhibiting a very keen sense of smell. Youngsters will empathize with the predicaments in which Strasser's energetic boys find themselves and enjoy this light, entertaining read.?Cheryl Cufari, N. A.

From Booklist:
Gr. 5^-8. Fans of Strasser's other books in the Help! I'm Trapped series will want to read this easy, breezy story, in which eighth-grader Jake Sherman's dog, Lance, and Jake's best friend, Andy, are trapped in each other's bodies. Silly, slapstick situations abound: picture a best friend barking in school, eating dog food, chasing squirrels, and being a star pupil in obedience school. The story is briskly paced, and although it's fairly predictable, readers who want something to read just for fun won't mind. Suggest this to older reluctant readers, too. Chris Sherman
