Have you read Buster's diaries?

As I know there are rather a lot of you staffie owners on dogweb I wondered if any of you have read Busters diaries by Roy Hatersley. I thought it was so funny and could apply to any dog. I certainly related some of the things to my own rescue jrt jake.

The story is about Buster who is a crossbred Alsatian/Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He moved in with Roy Hattersley, and the story is of how he completely disrupted the politician's life, as dictated to Roy!

The story is hilarious and is written from a dog's point of view. Buster is trying to fit into the strange world of the Man, but She (Roy's wife) is the one who is strict.

'The Man', says Buster, 'wants to be like a dog, but when I treat him like one he objects.'


If you haven't read it or just need cheering up get it out of the library now It's soooooo funny

It is well worth it Brundog you will love it!! I couldn't stop laughing all the way through because it sees things from the dogs point of view it shows a different perspective on things. It also shows just how strange us humans must look to our doggie friends.
