Publisher's Synopsis
When Trevor Grove first met Beezle the dalmatian, he was just 'a scrap of spotty fur barely distinguishable from the hot-water bottle covers Boots were selling that winter'. Now he is the king of Kenwood Park, proudly stalking out his territory with Trevor as they brave the wind, the rain (and the discarded condoms) on their daily walk across Hampstead Heath. If Trevor is to keep up with Beezle he must learn the language: as every dog-walker will know, 'biscuits' can be a very useful word. Especially when your pet is determined to dash into the undergrowth for hours on end in search of female company. ('Castration' is another useful word if the biscuits don't work.) 'Squirrel', on the other hand, is a word that must be avoided at all times.Trevor spots celebrities and Beezle spots celebrities' sandwiches, and together they make an unmissable pair; Beezle with his splendid coat, Trevor running on behind. Beautifully illustrated by Posy Simmonds, ONE DOG AND HIS MAN is a affectionate celebration of canine companionship and a gift book to treasure.
