Pete Goes to School is a rhyming tale about a young boy, Tom and his Labrador dog Pete. When Tom goes off to boarding school Pete runs away from home and arrives at Toms school late at night. The next day the headmaster says that Pete must go but Toms formidable Mum turns up and persuades him, through a mixture of hard talk and flattery, that if Pete were allowed to stay at the school, not only would he make an excellent In House dog but his appointment would also enhance the schools (and more importantly) the headmasters reputation.
