    About this ebook

    Blake is a loveable mongrel just trying to lead a happy life; he loves his owner, fiercely defends his territory against interlopers (including the owners new lady friend and her cat), does his best to avoid the frequently threatened neutering and spends a lot of his time either scooting across the carpet or chasing local tail. It really is a dogs life, and Blake has kindly taken the time to keep a diary of a year in his own life providing a hilarious, unputdownable glimpse into the mind and world of your average mutt.
