""When Dickon moves to a new neighbourhood, he hopes to meet children who will like him. He also wants a dog of his own ..." Cf. Our choice, 2003."@en
"Dickon wasn't happy in his old home or his old school. He hopes that in his new neighborhood he will meet children who never knew his old, hyper self, who will like him for who he is now. And he hopes for a dog of his own. Dickon's mother calls him Birdie. She feeds him milk from a teddy bear mug. She worries if he's out of her sight for a moment and she knows how filthy and vicious dogs can be. Dickon is delighted to discover that the Humane Society is right on the other side of the fence behind the new house, but only by disobeying his mother will he ever get close to a real dog."
"Dickon Fielding is growing up. He is not as hyper as he used to be. Now that he and his mother have moved to a new neighborhood, he hopes to make friends of his own. And maybe, with the Human Society right on the other side of the fence, he will finally be able to have the dog he has always dreamed of."
