In words and pictures, Rosie the puppy's growth and development, what she learns and discovers, and what she knows by instinct. Her home is out in the countryside, with the sea nearby. Fields, woods and the beach are all explored with her child owner, and the changing seasons are atmospherically depicted as summer moves on into autumn and the start of winter.
