Bedford's story captures the friendship between a girl and her dog in a delightful way.
The pair are perfect companions that care for each other. When the little girl falls over dog comes to check on her.
They play and share together, holding a dress-up tea party, with biscuits, yum.
Ann James' warm, gentle and dynamic illustrations clearly show that dog is the little girl's best friend.
They understand each other. Dog asks to play fetch by dropping the ball at her feet. He listens to her when she tells him that he cannot jump in the bath with her.
The duo are inseparable. They romp together, sharing hugs and kisses. Then as the day winds down they share quite time together; drawing, reading and at bed time they sleep together.
Dog is adored by girl. They make my smile as wide as one their smiles. 'That's the way I love you.'
