Many dogs have human owners. Not this dog. He fetches his own slippers, curls up at his own feet and gives himself a good scratch.

What can the dog do but get a lead, so he can take the chap around? Dog lovers of all ages will revel in the humorous role-reversal as this dog teaches his human all the skills he needs to be a faithful companion.
