Mr. Dash may not have a pedigree (he can count five different breeds of
dogs as family), but from his furry head to his wagging tail, he is a
gentleman. His fine manners make him a perfect companion to Madame
Croissant. Their life together is graceful and civilized, what with
walks in the park, stamp-collecting, and a passion for flowers.
But the well-ordered household is turned on its head whenever Madame
Croissant's granddaughter, Daphne, comes to visit. She's as wild as Mr.
Dash is courtly, and she makes the poor dog's life miserable. But when
she finds herself in real trouble, Mr. Dash proves that he is not only
well-mannered but as brave as any knight.
Merci Mister Dash! is not only a hilarious salute to common
courtesy, it will appeal to dog lovers and to anyone who is trying to
civilize an untamed creature - of any kind.
