Ivy Pembroke

A Dog Called Jack Ivy Pembroke

Every street should have a dog like Jack . . . All day, he trots happily between the terraced houses, receiving treats and toys, offering a tail wag or lick in return. For Sam, a widower recently returned to London, Jack is Christmas Street's unofficial welcoming committee. For Sam's young son, Teddy, the small, scruffy mutt is much more than that -- he's a confidante and Teddy's much-needed -- and so far, only -- friend.
