Find out whether this new neighbour can help Danny achieve his dream and more in this story about finding friendship in unexpected places. Danny and the Dream Dog is a book about finding friendship in unexpected places. Danny dreams about having a dog but, with Mum at work and Danny at school, Mum says they can't have one. One day, when a new neighbour moves next door, Mum volunteers Danny to take the neighbour's dog for a walk every day after school. Danny dreams about the dog and can't wait to meet him. However, this pup isn't exactly what Danny had in mind. The dog's name is Max and he certainly isn't the kind of dog Danny has been dreaming about.

However, Danny soon realises that whilst Max might not be his DREAM DOG he's definitely his best friend.
