Buster, a very shy dog, does not get along with the other pets in Roger's house, especially bold and popular Phoebe, but soon Buster discovers his own special talent.
"When Buster comes to live at Roger's house as a shy puppy, he has a lot to learn. It's a good thing Phoebe is there to teach him a few tricks. Or is it?"--Page 4 of cover.
Buster finds a homeless kitten and takes care of it, with help from Phoebe, the tabby, and the calico. In a second story, Buster and Phoebe take the new kitten, Tilly, to Gregory's house to play.
