'King' Kamehameha

What would you do if a pooch suddenly arrived at your castle door and claimed to be the true sovereign?

‘King Kamehameha’ was well and truly settled in his castle, with his paw firmly under the table, and with one Toni as a possible contender to his self-made regal status, there wasn’t a problem; or, so the rascal thought.

Will you cast your undying allegiances to the cuddly, cute ‘King;’ or, will you spare a sympathetic thought, and maybe your vote, for his long-suffering servant?

Who will be the true victor?

'King' Kamehameha's Dilemmas

‘King’ Kamehameha’s sole interest in further securing his blissful existence is sprinkled with adventures and unavoidable challenges. All is going smoothly until, one day, Toni, his long-suffering owner, decides she wants to find herself a hubby and potential stepdad for ‘His Majesty’. This sets the ‘King’ off on a personal mission, to deter any impending union between an unfortunate victim and Toni, the ‘King’s’ servant.

And, just as ‘His Majesty’ thinks he is safe and secure, lockdown descends on his kingdom. Will Toni succeed in enforcing her strict rules and regulations, when ‘King’ Kamehameha is in the full throes of conjuring up his own rules and regulations?

When Toni is on her deathbed in the hospital, will the ‘King’, at least, think about mending his mischievous ways?

Have you ever wished for an adventure of your very own, then this is the story for you.
