Leaping into life form the page of this enchanting book is the story f Jock who has a battle on his paws to keep his position of top dog, and Brandy who cannot resist inspecting the dustbins. There are tender stories of neglected dogs given new homes, new hope, like Roy the golden retriever, and stories about the important part a pet plays in the life of an elderly person. The book includes three stories about Tricki Woo, the pekinese who has been one of the great Herriot favourites - in the books, on television and in the films.
