Synopsis

HI, FRIEND! I am Jack! Look at me! I am old-fashioned yellow Labrador. I am very Thick. WAG TAIL. Pant. Get patted. I like you. Do you like me? I am JACK. Can I smell your...? Oh. Sorry...Jack lives with his pack: Packleader (also known as Daddy), Pack Lady (Mummy) and their three apedog puppies (the kids). Join Jack as he falls in love with Petra, the Samoyed who moves in next door, becomes a Packleader himself (when Petra gives birth to a litter of pups), braves the fearsome Garage Dog - and faces a terrible Metal Monster that threatens not only Petra and the puppies, but also Jack's own Packleader...PS: If any of the above doesn't make sense, don't worry. There are footnotes throughout from the Cats...

Media Reviews
One of the funniest stories I have ever read ... The essence of muddy-pawed, catastrophic dogdom ... immense uproarious trouble The Times Superbly silly ... this book will have you in stitches. Highly original and very witty, Jack is a unique character who gets himself into all kinds of trouble ... This really is a very funny book that will appeal just about anyone who has ever had a pet The Bookseller
