ABOUT THE BOOK:
After filming the BBC2 series, Baby Chimp Rescue in Africa, Ben Garrod fell in love with a dog named Jack-Jack and brought him back to the UK, where the two are now inseparable. Back in Africa, Jack had a pretty special job looking after orphaned chimps at a sanctuary, and now it’s time for him to head off on work experience here in the UK.
Jack-Jack A Dog with a Job is the fourth and final instalment in this heartwarming and laugh-out-loud adventure series that celebrates the amazing things a dog can do.
