  <default-description>In 1996, Buster, a half-German Shepherd mutt, was attacked by a goose in a public park. He defended himself-much to the detriment of the goose-who, unfortunately, was owned by the Queen, and Buster was brought up on charges. Grossly misrepresented by the media, he became an instant celebrity. Eager to present his side of the story, he dictated his diaries to his Man, the lord who had adopted him a year earlier. The result is a delightfully funny, sometimes touching romp through Buster's triumph over adversity, some dog psychology, the odd training rituals the Man performs, the pain of his puppyhood, and, ultimately, a dog's joy at owning a human.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is quite funny, if you like dry &quot;British&quot; humor.  It's as the title suggests, a narrative of a dog called Buster and his daily life with his man.  He tells of his run ins with the law, his affections for pretty female dogs, and the ridiculous idiosyncrasies of the human.
