English writer and playwright Dodie Smith, whose plays are successfully staged in theaters across the UK, conceived this book shortly after a real Great Dane started living in her house. But only twenty years later she finally told millions of readers a touching and amusing story about a family of Great Danes who set off to find their puppies, stolen by evil people.
This story happened not so long ago in the glorious city of London, where one nice young couple of Great Danes lived—Pongo and Mrs. Pongo.
