Truffle: A Dog (and Cat) Story

David McPhail

Truffle, a dedicated farm dog who loved his work but struggled with cats, embarks on a journey to find what's missing in his life.

This is the story of a little dog who had difficulties with cats, until the day that everything changed. Truffle, a small dog, was born and raised on a farm, where he was put in charge of keeping the rats out of the barn, and the badgers out of the fields. Truffle enjoyed his work, and he took pride in doing it well. The only difficulty he had was with cats. Nothing irritated Truffle more than the sight of a cat sleeping on the job while the mice ate their fill in the corncrib. Truffle would howl loudly, waking the cat, which then would dash off with Truffle close behind! He never actually caught the cat, and he would not harm it if he did. It was all about the chase. Truffle enjoyed his work, but he felt that something was missing in his life. So, he left the farm to search for those missing pieces.
