The Adventures of Sammy the Cat and Dribs the Dog — Kevin Carroll

The Crowley family had two pets, a cat and a dog, named Sammy and Dribs. They had a happy life until one day Mr. Crowley lost his job and the family was in danger of losing their home. They were devastated.
Sammy and Dribs were determined to do something to help. They sought ideas from animal friends. Different suggestions led them to having amazing adventures, and making lots of new friends.
The story has an Irish flavor with fairy forts, boreens, crocks of gold and familiar Irish place names and Gaelic expressions.
