But a dog would damage the expensive carpets in Hal's glamorous home, and his we
althy parents refuse to consider one. Then they discover Easy Pets, a convenient
dog-rental agency. Terrier Fleck arrives on Hal's birthday, but when Hal discov
ers that his dog must be returned, he runs away.
Hal and Fleck are joined by
a group of pedigree breeds joyfully escaping from Easy Pets \- among them is Ott
o, the wise and sombre St Bernard, and the fierce and excitable Pekinese Li-Chee
. A large reward is offered for the missing boy, and soon Hal and his dogs are b
eing chased across the country by ruthless pursuers. Helped by a travelling circ
us, and the sympathetic children from an orphanage, they race for their freedom
in a classic adventure in the tradition of 101 DALMATIANS.
Every dog-loving c
hild will adore this irresistible story from a truly great and much-loved childr
en's author.
