Playing fetch is one of the favourite activities of dog owners everywhere, but with a pooch like Buddy, it doesn’t take long to become … complicated. After all, a cocker spaniel who brings back lost toys by the dozen and refuses to give up until he’s found the right one is far from commonplace. For Billy and his parents, though, it’s same old same old, and they wouldn’t change their dear Buddy for the world – even when he causes chaos!
The last volume I reviewed in 2019 just before the big "home holiday" everyone had:

With a book like this having to wait between volumes is no problem as they are all self contained stories. The style is close enough to Roba that unless you pay VERY close attention you will not notice the difference.
The art is lively and the colour work of Luc Perdriset and Jean Bastide make it even more so. "Maybe I shouldn't have asked Buddy to help me put my toys away?" sums it all up. This is fun and I think we all need a fun read these days in between checking if the UK has another new Prime Minister yet. Supposedly for youngsters this series is also a treat for adults of an immature mindset!
