Mr. Dash may not have a pedigree (he can count five different breeds of dogs as family), but from his furry head to his wagging tail, he is a gentleman. His fine manners make him a perfect companion to Madame Croissant. Their life together is graceful and civilized, what with walks in the park, stamp-collecting, and a passion for flowers.<br><br>But the well-ordered household is turned on its head whenever Madame Croissant&rsquo;s granddaughter, Daphne, comes to visit. She&rsquo;s as wild as Mr. Dash is courtly, and she makes the poor dog&rsquo;s life miserable. But when she finds herself in real trouble, Mr. Dash proves that he is not only well-mannered but as brave as any knight.<br><br><b>Merci Mister Dash!</b> is not only a hilarious salute to common courtesy, it will appeal to dog lovers and to anyone who is trying to civilize an untamed creature &ndash; of any kind.
