In Hairy Maclary, Sit by Lynley Dodd, our favourite scruffy dog finds himself in the middle of another delightful adventure. When Hairy Maclary is taken to the Kennel Club's Obedience Class, he is in no mood to follow orders. His rebellious spirit takes over, and he feels mischievous and mad. Not only does he scamper away from the class, but he also leads all his friends - Bottomley Potts, Muffin McLay, Hercules Morse, Schnitzel von Krumm, and the rest - on a wild chase through town. The group's energetic antics are aptly described as they are "galloping here, galloping there, rollicking, frolicking everywhere"!
