Synopsis – Making very difficult things really easy to do
Chapter one: Walk a mile in my shoes, if I had shoes.
The front door opens on the world of Bobs, the world’s self-declared highest achieving dog. This over-confident cockapoo, conqueror of high peaks, explorer of low places, shares insights from his successful life as to how he reached the pedestal of greatness and didn’t fall off. And you can become great too, he explains. Very difficult things are actually very easy to do, you just have to do what he does. Just don’t listen to the Yappy Dogs across the road. They know nothing.
Chapter two: Learning that the hole is greater than the sum of the parts.
Bobs’ literally unbelievable life story rolls on – from his race for space to international sporting success. He has a head full of memoirs and a cupboard full of certificates to prove it. We meet more members of his entourage and hear more of his incredible life, both in the local park and in the celebrity spotlight. Through each experience, Bobs offers tips as to how the reader can take one more step themselves along their own footpath to greatness.
Chapter three: Time to check the map and what’s for lunch.
Bobs’ story reaches amazing new heights, as an adventurer being the first to reach both the west and east poles, his blossoming film career, and we hear more about his domestic story, the upbringing that has made him the unconventional and inspirational dog he is today. Away from the adulation, we begin to understand that greatness is not, as it might appear, about fame and fortune, maybe greatness is not even the destination, maybe it’s something closer to home.
Chapter four: Navigating without a compass using the stars and instinct.
Things get a bit more surreal and complex. While Bobs is never lacking in tall stories and a smattering of hyperbole, has he stumbled in his outlandish meanderings on the reason for everything being the way it is in the universe? Can anyone follow his self-help guide to greatness mathematical formula? Has his new mountain rescue team in a place barely above sea level any chance of a call-out? And back in the local park, who will step in to save the sinking Day-Glo Pug in Part-time Lake?
Chapter five: Checking where we are is where we actually wanted to get to
Drawing the threads of absurdity together, Bobs sets out some methods for self-reflection. What is greatness on an individual level that means something to us all? Can the essence of greatness incorporate fallibility? The Pupmaster explains.
