A Spot of Bother
$25.00Price
When sixteen-year-old Richard “Dick” Dyre is paid for his station work with the pick of the litter, he was expecting the dog in question to be a border collie or a kelpie - not a dalmatian! But Dick has always dreamt of upstaging his older siblings at a dog trial with his own four-legged partner, and what could be more upstaging than to beat them with a breed that hasn’t been a shepherding dog in centuries? On top of that, Dick is still at boarding school, where pets are strictly prohibited.
Can Dick and Bother pull it off?
