Buster's Diaries: The True Story of a Dog and His Man

by Roy Hattersley

On This Page

Description

Buster's diaries offer a floor-level insight into the aromatic world of the man-owning dog. Buster stepped into the limelight in April 1996 after an incident with a goose in St James' Park, a goose which happened to belong to the Queen. Pursued by the press ever since he has sought solace in writing. He details the absurdities of his life with The Man - Roy Hattersley - who clearly wants to be a dog but lacks the necessary qualities. The blood of the tundra wolves roars through Buster's show more veins and demands he hold strong views on the role and status of the fin de siecle dog. Buster's Diaries expose the truth about such man-made fallacies as diet, discipline and exercise. They also extol the joys of human-ownership and are written with the wit and style that is expected of his amanuensis. show less

I've read one of Roy Hattersley's autobiographies and thoroughly enjoyed it - I love his writing style. This is a diary dictated to Roy Hattersley by his dog, Buster. It's really funny - whether you have a dog or not! Looking forward to reading some more of Buster's adventures at some stage!
If you are a dog lover and have ever owned a dog you will laugh out loud with this book. Its an easy read with a light-hearted message. The book is written from Buster's point of view and details his account of all his adventures with his "Man".
