The second in a series depicting a tender love story in which the child reader continues the wonderful relationship as owner of a beautiful Border Collie puppy. This book colourfully describes the puppy troubles and the learning process, with the ever increasing special relationship between dog and child. The easy rhyming narrative and vibrant illustrations continue the unfolding bond of trust and affection as seen through the eyes of the puppy, whilst at the same time capturing the child's sense of achievement and growing responsibility as child and puppy together continue their journey that will ultimately span many years of discovery and adventure. The series illustrates how much enjoyment, love, friendship and devotion dogs give us. Based on the real relationship between the author and her Border Collies (Frisby and others), this is a heartfelt read for children (and adults ).
