Rumbledumble’s greatest loves are: Anna and the other children, his garden and his little dog Maxi.

When Maxi gets lost Rumbledumble and the children search everywhere for him. But Maxi is far away in another, very different, world. Will Maxi get back? Will Rumbledumble find him? This is a story about the loyalty between a man and his dog, about determination and about how help is not all one way; sometimes children can help adults too! It’s also about being kind to a stranger …Even when that stranger is a little dog!
