Lucky Mucky Pup by Ken Brown
In this new story about the delightful, mischievous puppy, Mucky Pup once again causes havoc. Joined by his equally mucky friend, Pig, the two animals race around the farmyard pursuing a buzzing bee only to find themselves chased when a whole hive of bees joins in the game. The farmer's wife finds to her horror that Mucky Pup has broken pots, trampled the vegetables and muddied all her clean washing. But not only is Pup lucky enough not to be caught by the bees, he also avoids a telling-off when the children take his side. This has been a very mucky, but certainly a very lucky day for Pup!.
