Beautiful, intelligent, caring, loyal, funny, energetic, and stone-obsessed; if Beatrix had been a human, which she believed she was, she would probably have been a head teacher.

This book is a tale of companionship and adventure; funny, frightening, and at times mystical, but always revealing the true nature of my fantastic dog. With a feel-good factor, the book looks at human life, habits and language as seen through a dog's eyes.

Our adventures include a real-life lassie-style rescue on a mountain of me, her poorly mum, finding a hypothermic human, and accidentally herding skiers.

Life for Beatrix revolves around her obsessions, mainly sticks, stones and balls. But then there is Baby Jesus from the handmade nativity scene, who comes out each year. She was never allowed to eat him though.

Beatrix also travels through time, where her adventures have no limit.

Which tales are true, and which fiction? Only Beatrix knows for sure.
