Why Chasing Rabbits is a Bad Idea

Even for a puppy, Noodle was a delinquent. He chewed everything he encountered, he socialised like a maniac, and he loved a good game of chase, especially with rabbits.

Even in puppy training classes the labradoodle's exuberance all but ruined the classes for other trainees. But just as Pete was getting used to having holes in his lawn, his biros eaten and newspapers desiccated about the sitting room, and as Pauline was making friends with other dog walkers in the woods, Noodle frantically followed a rabbit one day and ran out of his owners' lives. Find out what exactly happened to the young pup, why he was given a new name and whether he ever saw his owners again in this, the fifth, of Otto Vernon’s quirky dog tails.
