In a hilarious story, told throughout in Jack's own words, Jack, a Labrador dog, takes the family car for a drive, tries to protect a new pack-member (a parrot) from the claws of the family's cats - and gets involved with both burglars and New Age anti-road protestors. He also gets a whole steak to eat as a reward.
