A fun, playful story about a naughty dog who goes on adventures around the neighborhood whenever his owner leaves for school.

Flick’s dog, Benson, is a very good boy. He waits for her at home and he never chases anything . . . or so Flick thinks. One day, when Flick leaves for school, Benson chases a cat into the back garden, over the fence, and into the park, where he pursues a squirrel. A ball catches his eye and he follows it into the pond―and then he runs, dripping wet, through the middle of a picnic lunch, stealing a sausage. As the picnickers shout, “Go home, Benson!,” he races back across town, darting through the back door just as Flick arrives home from school. “Have you been a good boy, Benson? Did you stay?” Flick asks. Only the reader really knows what Benson has been doing all day.

一个关于一只顽皮的狗的趣味故事。每当他的主人离开家去上学，这只狗就会在附近开始他的冒险活动。

Flick的狗Benson是一只很听话的狗。他在家等她，从不追东西……至少Flick是这么想的。有一天，Flick去上学了，Benson追一只猫追到了屋后的花园，越过篱笆，进入了公园，在那里他又开始追一只松鼠。一个球引起了他的注意，他追着这只球跳进了池塘——接着他浑身湿透地跑起来，穿过了一顿野餐午饭，偷了一根香肠。当野餐的人喊道，“回家去，Benson！”，他往回跑，穿过镇子，当Flick从学校回到家时，他正好从后门冲进来。“你今天乖不乖呀，Benson？你待在家里吗？”Flick问。只有读者知道Benson一整天都做了什么。
