Big Head is like most dogs living in rural New Zealand. He chases wild goats, scrounges bloody meals, and aspires to be a pig hunter. Life is sweet as, but his addiction to chasing sheep lands him in trouble, and he finds himself clipped to the end of a short chain. Luckily for him, he's given plenty of lab kisses to Mr. Chin, an overseas teacher living in the area. One day, Mr. Chin releases him from the chain and brings him to the beach. A perfect series of events often transpires to bring a dog and human together. This story confirms that there are energies at work creating this magical union over and over no matter the circumstances or where you are in the world. Volume I of The Big Head Diaries follows Big Head from his free-range puppyhood to his more measured life at Mr. Chin's side.
