A Dog for Life

John and Tom need to keep their dog, Mouse, but Tom has become dangerously ill, and the doctor says no dog. Gran and Mum can't be convinced that Mouse staying will help save Tom: "I tried the eyes thing, but it didn't work on them," Mouse explains to Tom. "Obviously you'll have a plan? " An uncle in the south might like Mouse, but Gran and Mum would never agree to bring her to him. There's only one thing John and Mouse can do: make the trip themselves.
