Mel Oliver and Space Rover on Mars is a science fiction novel by William Morrison (pseudonym of Joseph Samachson). It was published in 1954 by Gnome Press in an edition of 4,000 copies.
The novel concerns the adventures of a boy and his sapient dog as they join an interplanetary circus on a voyage to Mars.
