It's a Dog's Life (1705)
It's a Dog's Life is a 1705 farm life book written by Michael Morpurgo and Hannah George.
This story is an energetic romp through a dog's busy day on a farm. Russ, the sheepdog, herds sheep and cows and plots against Tigger, the farm cat. He covers Lula, his master's daughter, with lots of slobbery licks but when she gets a special birthday present, he worries that she might love it more than she loves him.
