This is the Dogs Tale: his first encounter with the sexy Jess, his loyal devotion to Wal Footrot, whom he saves from a fate worse than death; his adventures with Horse, the cat with the barracuda jaw and fishhook claws; his brilliant cowardice and mighty nose, pitted against the dastardly schemes of the villainous Murphys, their hell hounds and the Croco Pigs. Will Wal become an All Black? Will Cooch recover his stolen Stag? Will the Dog win your hearts and funnybones?
