What is The Pet Person about?
Rex the dog longs for a pet person, but his family insists that people are messy, noisy and impossible to train. When Rex discovers a stray boy, he thinks his birthday wish has come true. Soon he is teaching his new pet tricks, taking him for walks and discovering that looking after a person is not as easy as it seems. This funny, topsy-turvy story turns the usual pet-owner relationship upside down.
