He thought he was just another dog, and he was... In the fetid squalor of a stinking pet shop, somewhere on the wrong side of town, a dog is born. Puppy number nine. His future is uncertain; he is the dog with no name and to pile on misery the bitch that bore him just died. How grim. And now Mr Nasty is going to kill him because he is a dangerous breed. It just would not be politically correct keeping him. But he is going to meet Kevin Robinson, Kevin is going to call him Caesar....The dog has found his best friend. And life begins in earnest. There is just one problem, she is Top Dog, she is Doris, Kevin's mum, and she is Italian. 'Maria Madonna!' Things shall never be the same.
