"The dog is often called a man's best friend.
Dogs are reliable, loyal and loving, like all best friends.
They also smell like a bobble hat full of corned beef that has been left on a parcel shelf of a locked car for a fortnight during a hot spell. But there are some things you don't mention to a best friend."

This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books specially created to help grown-ups understand the world around them.

The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition, and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures, all comes together to enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope. Featuring original Ladybird artwork alongside brilliantly funny, brand new text.
