When Harry leaves him sitting at the corner of the street, the most obedient dog in the world is sorely tried and tested. A nosy bird lands on him; rain and hail falls on him; people pass by; dogs come along and sniff him. But the most obedient dog in the world stays just where he is - until, catching sight of a cat, he is unable to contain himself any longer. He leaps up, preparing to spring, when Harry returns and takes him to the beach as a reward for being so good. Anita Jeram's other books include "All Pigs are Beautiful", "My Hen is Dancing", "I Love Guinea-Pigs", "It Was Jake!" and "Bill's Belly Button".
