Moving homes isn’t always easy. Gizmo, ‘sausage’ dog and prince of the urban jungle, moves from the only home he has ever known in the city, to the country with his owner Grannie.  How will he survive? But Gizmo isn’t the only one who is anxious. He soon discovers that Jilly the Irish wolfhound, has a more immediate problem. Her owner is planning to sell her puppies Wolfie, Wilfred, Wilma and Willabelle.

Together with other newly made friends, Gizmo sets about to help Jilly keep her puppies in the district. He soon realises that no problem is too big to tackle if he has a ‘can do’ attitude.

With its eye catching illustrations and clear text, this ‘chapter book’ will appeal to emerging independent readers.  Watch out for more ‘News Hounds’ stories coming soon.
