Buster became famous as a young dog in 1996 after he defended himself against a goose in St James's Park - a goose which, unfortunately, belonged to the Queen. Pursued by the press ever since, he has sought solace in writing. Never before has the reading public been offered such insight into the canine world. The indignities of a train journey, tied to a table while bacon sandwiches pass by. Told to 'hush' no matter how incisive the contribution to a conversation. The diaries also reveal the strain of living with the Man - a sad figure who would like to be a dog but lacks the necessary talent. Buster's duties include protecting the Man from friends who want to talk to him, and making sure that everybody knows when the telephone rings. When Buster first wrote, he was a puppy. Although older and wiser, he still gets into lots of scrapes with fur and feathers. Unlike the House of Lords, Buster approves of euthanasia and helped a 21-year-old cat, which jumped into his garden, draw her life peacefully to a close. As Buster has aged, his sight and hearing are failing somewhat but he still wants to 'go courting' - especially in springtime. Buster remains unaware of what happened that day at the vet's, and no-one will explain it to him, but they continue to allude to something. Despite that setback, Buster's Secret Diaries celebrate a dog's joy at owning a human.
