Buddy is a clever cocker spaniel with plenty of attitude – and he’s young Billy’s best friend. Life is never dull with him around! The 10th volume of a wonderfully wholesome series.

Anyone who knows dogs knows this: walkies is a sacred moment. It’s communion with the master, exploration of the environment, exercise, socialising … There isn’t a pooch in the world who doesn’t go nuts at the sound of that leash being readied. But when the doggy in question is as cunning and mischievous as Buddy, the whole thing can turn into a complicated process for the master – if he’s even allowed to come along, that is!
