Set in Victorian times, the story of Benny, a bedraggled mongrel, who lives with Tom, a singularly phlegmatic old tramp, in an old broken down barge. He longs to play with the rich children and be a cossetted pet, but discovers that the reality doesn't live up to his expectations. The contrast of the two homes and the opulent detail of the ilustrations provide a marvellous glimpse of another time.
