Nipper and the Lunchbox Lucy Dillamore

“Nipper is a little dog who loves sleeping, dozing and dreaming, but most of all, he loves his best friend, Richard. Every morning, as Richard prepares to go to work, he has to ignore Nipper begging him to stay. One day, Nipper notices that Richard has left his lunchbox behind, and embarks on a mission to deliver it. En route, he encounters many obstacles that challenge his determination. Will he reach Richard with his lunch still intact?”
