Buzz Sausage Wolf is keen to win the love (and biscuits) of his New Family. He wants to be the perfect pet and impress them, but who is Pack Leader? Is it Britney, the small but shouty one? Her brother who secretly gives Buzz delicious and definitely not-for-dogs snacks? Or Mum, the one who holds The Lead.
With the help of his wise friend, Trilby, Buzz must decide whether to be a silly Sausage or a brave Wolf to win their hearts - because too much of either ends in chaos!
A warmly funny story for fans of Rabbit and Bear, large dollops of silliness and the occasional unexpected dog parp.

And Harley only has 24 hours to rescue him before he’s trapped there FOREVER!
