Summary

In our bedtime story we meet Buster, a lovable Labrador with an unusual craving—not for bones or biscuits, but for spaghetti! Every morning, Buster slurps up a big bowl of pasta, making a delicious mess and warming the hearts of the Rivera family. But when their truck breaks down right before the big Harvest Festival, Buster’s love for food leads to a very unexpected discovery… one that just might save the day.
