About the book

Synopsis

Ruggles likes visiting all his friends in the town - in a highly unauthorised fashion! Follow this soppy shaggy dog through all seasons, as he disappears from the garden to the wider world outside - Colditz style! He knows the dogcatcher really well, but he also knows all the children in the park. In the winter, though, the cosiness of the house could be just tempting enough.

A welcome reissue of this delightful book which will be loved by anyone who has ever had one of those difficult dogs. Recommended.
