What is The witch dog about?
Witch Rose is excited about the Witch Dance, where every witch must arrive with a cloak, a hat and a cat. There is just one problem: Rose is allergic to cats. When she brings Nightshade, her clever witch dog, the other witches are not impressed. Can Nightshade prove that a dog can be just as useful, magical and entertaining as a cat? With flying, friendship and plenty of funny surprises, Rose and Nightshade are determined to make the evening unforgettable.
