Gizmo is a city dog, so when he moves to the village of Puddle with his journalist human he doesn' t know WHAT to expect. Certainly not FLOWERS. Or BEES. And he couldn' t have even imagined MUD. Luckily he' s got Jilly, the wolfhound next door, to show him around. But Jilly has a problem. Her puppies are going to be given to new owners far away. She' ll never see them again! Gizmo might not know the difference between a cow and a tractor but he' s got a nose for a story, and a great idea to help Jilly. What if the dogs of Puddle had a newspaper? STOP PRESS!A charming and hilarious new illustrated young fiction series about the things dogs get up to when their humans aren' t looking, from the author of The Adventures of Pug series. Perfect for fans of Toto the Ninja Cat and The Secret Life of Pets.
