Dumb Sagacity
Delightful rescue yarn with a smart dog and horse working together to save a young girl from drowning in Bognor.
Overview
Delightful race to the rescue yarn in which a smarter than average dog and horse work together to save a young girl from being drowned. Bognor Regis is clearly more dangerous than it looks when a girl takes a paddle and finds herself cut off from land with the tide rising fast. Will the little moppet be left to her cruel fate, or can our four-legged friends - who are anything but dumb - save the day and pluck her to safety in the nick of time?
