About This Book

There was something inside the bag, squeaking and squealing in terror. Patrick didn't think about it. He leaped into the canal." For Best Mate, being rescued is only the start of his adventures. From unwanted burden to favourite companion, and from pet to champion race dog, this remarkable greyhound proves that it's not just cats who have more than one life.
