Cat and Dog

The dog in the looking-glass barks back—and Captain sets off to give the rival a proper shaking. But how do you catch an enemy who vanishes whenever you circle behind the mirror?

In an old manor-house, Captain enjoys a fireside, a beloved master, and the daily greeting of Lily—though he is much too large for the drawing-room. A proud setter with a keen nose for character, he knows which visitors deserve a warm welcome and which deserve a growl; the trouble is, his master expects him to be civil to them all. Lily, meanwhile, puts him through lessons involving buttered toast, a mirror, and a surprising amount of patience. Captain is destined for more than tricks: his master is training him for the open country. What will this well-bred dog make of the life humans have planned for him?
