Der Hund Plum – sprich: „plam“ – hat zwar keinen Stammbaum, aber ist mindestens so schlau wie Lassie und so lebensklug wie Snoopy. Ohne jeden Zweifel ist er ein besonders erheiternder und liebenswerter Vertreter seiner Gattung: sozusagen ein Traum von einem Hund! Außerdem ist Plum meinungsstark, hat Umgangsformen und ist als Hund von Welt äußerst empfänglich für Eleganz und ein gewisses Savoir-vivre. Plum liebt den Geruch von Büchern und nicht nur das: Er führt selbst Tagebuch. Bei den Bildern hilft ihm Emma, die Illustratorin ist – aber die Worte stammen ganz allein von ihm. Wir begleiten Plum auf seinen täglichen Spaziergängen, in den Hundesalon, zum Tierarzt und zu seiner Hundesitterin, wir verbringen mit ihm die Ferien am Meer und erfahren von seinen Leidenschaften: Baden, Herumtollen, Fangenspielen und Croissants. Wir sind Zeuge seiner kleinen Niederlagen – erfolglos versuchen, mehr Croissants zu ergattern – und seiner großen Siege – ein kleines Bad im Swimmingpool von Freunden nehmen. In einem solch reichen Hundeleben gibt es natürlich auch Momente des Kummers und der Enttäuschung, und Plum hat durchaus eine philosophische Ader. Aber am Schönsten ist das Leben zweifellos dann, wenn er sich endlich hemmungslos auf dem neuen gelben Badezimmerteppich herumwälzen kann …
