Buddy is a normal seven-year-old growing up in a normal town. His best friend, however - a Cocker Spaniel named Billy - is not so normal, as he can make himself understood by humans without words and can talk to other animals. Billy's best friend is the family tortoise, Caroline. Together, Billy and Buddy get up to all sorts of mischief, gently tormenting those around them. The family setting is abundant with love and tenderness - and the duo's pranks are guaranteed to make readers of all ages roar with laughter.
