What is Dr. Dog about?
Meet Dr. Dog, the Gumboyle family's beloved pet and personal physician. When he jets off to a medical conference in Brazil, the family can't cope without him. Summoned back, Dr. Dog finds everyone unwell: Gerty has tonsillitis, Kev has lice, Baby has tummy ache, Fiona has earache, and Grandad has awful wind. With humour and clear explanations, Dr. Dog teaches the family about personal hygiene and health, offering advice like 'Never scratch your bum and suck your thumb.'
