Harley is a basset hound. And being a basset hound brings certain challenges! Then one day, something incredible happens! With the help of a strange, moustache wearing man on the talking box machine, Harley is able to be the dog she'd always dreamt of being. She could do all the things she saw other dogs do - carry huge sticks, catch balls in mid-air ... she was top-dog. However, being someone she's not, wasn't all she'd imagined it would be. Because others liked her just the way she was... This magical book written in perfect rhyme and beautifully illustrated, will help young children feel comfortable being themselves. Any child that loves dogs and animals will look forward to reading it, again and again. The story is based on the author's real life basset hound - who of course is called Harley! Even Lucy the chihuahua, who terrorises Harley on a daily basis, is a real-life character in their local park.
