A plucky dog; a lonely boy; a furious bull - can they all come together as the birthplace of a lifelong friendship for a stray and a boy?
***
Oh, For the Love of Dog! is a tale of a very special kind of mateship.
Toby, our young hero, fails to cross the field that's home to a very bored, always angry bull called Sumo. The lad only just evades the horns of the massive brute - then things start to look bad. Really bad!
As Toby scrambles up a tree to avoid the danger, a small, scruffy dog suddenly appears at the fence line. Its barking distracts the raging bull and makes for an epic battle with a narrow escape.
Boy and mutt meet - from the close call they've shared, will a deep, deep bond be born?
Has our pooch found his forever home? And has our hero found his Best Furry Friend?
