If love means caring for others, why is Truelove the dog ignored when the new baby arrives, despite his many efforts to help? He tries his best to attract his owners' attention, but finally gives up and leaves home. Soon he falls into bad company and is forced to return shamefaced. His owners are delighted to see him . . . and his slightly dodgy new friends, of course.
The text is made up of a series of aphorisms about love, while the illustrations depict the little dog's own experiences. The combination is sometimes ironic, sometimes sincere but it is always hilarious and the book is full of warmth and understanding.
