Buster's Diaries: The True Story of a Dog and His Man

In 1996, Buster, a half-German Shepherd mutt, was attacked by a goose in a public park. He defended himself--much to the detriment of the goose--who, unfortunately, was owned by the Queen, & Buster was brought up on charges. Grossly misrepresented by the media, he became an instant celebrity. Eager to present his side of the story, he dictated his diaries to his Man, the lord who had adopted him a year earlier. The result is a delightfully funny, sometimes touching romp through Buster's triumph over adversity, some dog psychology, the odd training rituals the Man performs, the pain of his puppyhood, and, ultimately, a dog's joy at owning a human. * In England, this title was published in hardcover in 1998, spent 12 weeks on the Sunday Times bestseller list, & has sold over 50,000 copies.
