About This Book

A frisky fox terrier belonging to a kindly doctor drives a string of playful, episodic adventures across home and village, his curiosity leading to both mishaps and discoveries. He pursues his own tail, uncovers hidden silver, becomes lodged in a stovepipe, and gets into sticky and soggy scrapes that require clever escape. Along the way his actions involve a house cat, a mischievous monkey, local children, and a boastful turkey, producing comic scenes such as picnics, a candy pull, and an ensuing quarrel. Episodes emphasize canine exuberance, the consequences of impulsiveness, and lighthearted domestic humor for young readers.
