Ben loves his dog Buster, but when you don't make your dog behave, he can be mischievous and exhausting! That's why the family decides to go on vacation, leaving Buster with Grandpa. Ben leaves lot of notes with his grandfather on how to look after Buster. But later on, he sees things that remind him of important information he forgot to tell Grandpa, so he sends him more notes with reminders like not to take Buster to the Post Office because he knows that's where mailmen come from. Grandpa doesn't read the note until after he is banned from the Post Office. That's when he decides it's time to train the dog. When Ben arrives home, Grandpa has his own set of notes written down. And now that Buster is trained, he gets to go along on the next vacation where he is good... "most" of the time.

A great book to read for families who are either thinking about getting a puppy/dog or for those who already have one that misbehaves. Training is an important part of keeping a pet around.

The author's illustrations highlight the entire story. Each page is filled with eye-catching pictures and dialogue bubbles that are fun to read.

Alex Latimer is both author and illustrator of this book. He lives in South Africa.

Sometimes people find it difficult to teach their dog to mind, but this story shows how important it is, in the long run, and how much happier everyone--including the dog--will be.
