This is the twelfth in the alliteratively titled and enticingly packaged 'Animal Ark' series centred on a country vet's practice. Here Dorian the donkey takes affairs into his own hooves when it looks like his future rests somewhere in the dog-meat market. Fortunately Mandy and her pals are on hand to be manipulated into saving the irascible beast's matted hide. Fast and eventful, but not too testing, it'll no doubt find willing readers.
