Santiago stays.

He does not budge when offered a walk.

He does not budge when offered a treat.

Not even a hamburger can lure this stubborn French bulldog away from his post, much to the disappointment of the little boy trying to engage him.

When the boys frustration bubbles over into a yell, it wakes the baby and the reader realises whom it was that Santiago was guarding in the first place.

This familiar theme of an attention-seeking older sibling paired with the comically and characteristically stubborn French bulldog makes for a humorous and charming tale.

All ends well with the boy and his dog playing together with the baby in a final joyous scene.
