Max's story - Sarah Hawkins

Olivia falls in love with a retriever puppy at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home but the family soon realize that he is very clumsy - in fact, he's a doggy disaster! Mum and Dad begin to lose their patience, but Olivia knows that her puppy doesn't mean to make such a mess.

When a magpie steals Mum's wedding ring from a window ledge and hides it in a nest on a high-up branch, can Max convince them that he's barking up the right tree and the ring can be rescued?
