It's a Dog's Life by Michael Morpurgo
Open one eye. Same old basket, same old kitchen...Have a stretch. Have a good yawn...Can't hang about. There's work to do. Michael's story is an energetic romp through a dog's busy day on a farm. Russ, the sheepdog, herds sheep and cows and plots against Tigger, the farm cat. He covers Lula, his master's daughter, with lots of slobbery licks but when she gets a special birthday present, he worries that she might love it more than him...
