Pedro is a corgi - a most unusual one. He plays football with the boys and skips rope with the girls, has tea at the table with the family and lines up with everyone else on Friday nights for his spoonful of cod liver oil. But when he gets old and sick, Mrs. Price can't face having him put down. She pays the neighbourhood children to take him to the vet, but they can't face it either. So she takes him herself 'and cried herself to sleep for a good many nights after'. Moving as well as funny. The author tells us this is a true story about her own great grandmother's dog. Large print and many black and white illustrations.
