Bobo, My Superdog

By Michael Salmon

Bobo appears to be like any other annoying, yappy little white and fluffy lap-dog. Bobo indeed has another life, he is a dog with super powers: Super-Bo, his kennel is in fact an Operations HQ with screens, monitors and lots of buttons to press. He wears a mask so that he won’t be recognised and an old striped beach towel as a cape. Super-Bo is often called away to help when danger threatens.
But He’s always back in time for dinner!
