After reading more than one review of this on here it finally made the jump from supermarket shelf to my shopping basket last week (mostly because it was Dads turn to pay for the main shop and its easy to sneak books in to his trolley from my basket).

I personally think he's just a loony Labrador and typical of the breed. He gets into lots of mischief and is scared stiff of thunder, but after all the problems he's caused his owner, like ...
