Dogger is a stuffed toy dog belonging to Dave, who loves him dearly. One afternoon when mum, Dave and baby brother, Joe, go to collect Bella from school, Dogger gets lost. A frantic search before bedtime reveals that he is nowhere to be found, and Dave must go to sleep without him. The next day at the school fair, Dave finds Dogger on a toy stall, but before he can get the money to buy him back, a little girl buys him. Big sister, Bella, is the heroine of the hour when she trades a new teddy she has just won for Dogger. Outstanding, busy illustrations and a most heartwarming story about interaction between family members.
