Once again Jon finds himself challenged by a difficult dog. Izzy wants to go with Jon wherever he may be, and jumps fences and chews through locks to do so. Jon has been through this before with his dog Orson, and isn't sure he can cope with the responsibility and potential heartbreak again. But Jon's motley collection of animals--from Jesus the baby donkey to Elvis the surprisingly sociable steer, as well of course as farm manager and Border Collie Rose--is the perfect refuge for Izzy. As Izzy settles down to become the perfect companion, Jon realises just how much he too has learnt from life on the farm about patience, perseverance and love.
