Novel for children.

Barry had always wanted a dog, but when he asked his Mum she had all the excuses. She said they cost too much and would be bad for his asthma. So there they were, Bitsa and Barry, getting closer and closer to home. Barry couldn't believe how obedient Bitsa was. He knew his Mum would go mad when she saw the dog. Perhaps if he convinced her that Bitsa would make a good guard dog. But when your dog has a wonky nose, the wrong-coloured hair and close-together eyes, things can go horribly wrong. Suggested level: primary, intermediate.
