Dog on the Job
Trying to get some attention from the Aussie Angels, Mike and Meg, can be a tough job, even when you're the top dog at animal Haven. Alice the labrador is surrounded by orphaned wallabies and possums, and then there's that camel and emu and there are all the other residents and visitors! But Alice is determined to carve out her own career. She can smell trouble in the air, and her motto is always "Have nose, will travel". But Alice's travels lead her into some frightening adventures.
