Jacob O'Reilly
Wants a Pet

Jacob O'Reilly wants a pet, but cats make Mum sneeze and Dad is convinced dogs have fleas. How many times does he have to ask before they finally give in? Jacob gets more than he bargains for when he tries running a pet-sitting service. In the end, there is only one pet for Jacob.
