What is Desperate for a dog about?
Two sisters are desperate for a dog, but their father firmly says no. Then an opportunity arrives: they are asked to look after a sick neighbour’s dog. The sisters eagerly take on the job, hoping to prove that they are responsible enough to have a pet of their own. As they cope with the lively dog and the challenges of caring for it, their determination is tested. Will their hard work finally persuade Dad to change his mind?
