Our Dog Knows Words

Formats & Editions

How clever is your dog? Not as clever as ours. He knows words!

Meet our very clever dog. He always knows just what we're saying to him. He knows, but does he always obey?

A funny story about a clever (but not always obedient) dog, from a father-daughter team of dog lovers.

From playing in the park to dinnertime, bath time and bedtime - this very smart dog knows what's going on!

If you loved The Complete Guide To A Dog's Best Friend, Henry The Dirty Dog or Hairy Maclary then you will adore Our Dog Knows Words.
