Also published as: The Labrador Pact. New York : Viking, 2008.

Narrated by Prince, an earnest young dog, he strives hard to live up to the tenets of the Labrador Pact (Labradors believe in 'duty over all'-- to remain loyal to their human masters, and so serve and protect their Family at any cost). But as things in the Hunter family start to go awry, his responsibilities begin to overwhelm him. Meet the Hunter family - Adam, a teacher; his wife Kate; and their children Hal, 17, and Charlotte, 13. When a new couple move into their street, Adam is besotted with Emily, the beautiful aromatherapist, while her husband Simon seems to have played a significant part in Kate's past. In the end Prince is forced to break the Labrador Pact, and take desperate action to save his family.
