Published 26 March 1999
In three stories, Buster the dog overcomes his shyness to make a friend, discovers his special talent, and helps Phoebe find the garbage bandits.

"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?"

In two riotous early reader tales starring the long-suffering Buster, the shy canine struggles to rescue an orphaned kitten and find it a home next door in spite of his friends' objections.
