Wee Heather MacBlether, a beautiful and lovable West Highland terrier, lives happily on the enchanting Isle of Lismore off the west coast of Scotland with her proud and doting human parents, Hughie and Moosie. But her world is severely shaken one day when someone makes unkind comments about her ears, which flop over rather than stick up in the usual westie way.

Brave Heather is soon to become a heroine, the toast of the Isle of Lismore...
