Learn about the secret life of dogs from pet expert Dr John Bradshaw.

Join Rusty, the terrier, as he goes about his day with his family. Discover how Rusty sees and mostly smells the world around him. Rusty uses his amazing nose to recognise his friends – human and dog! – it tells him where to find something tasty to eat and how to get back to his owner. Find out how Rusty’s family make him feel loved and safe, when he meets new people and other dogs, or is left at home alone. After a day with Rusty, you’ll know exactly how to be your dog’s best friend.
