Daisy was an ordinary dog, living an ordinary life with Stanley, until the day that Bella gives Daisy a liquorice all-sort. Daisy is delighted with her treat and does everything she can do to persuade Bella to give her another. She begs, she barks, she sings and dances and refuses to go home, so Stanley has to carry her. The next day, Bella gives Stanley a little bag with four liquorice all-sorts so Daisy happily follows him home and is so delighted by the liquorice all-sorts she performs again and again and becomes known far and wide as the extraordinary dancing dog.
