Spartacus has one life goal--to get even with "the Regulator"--the heartless old woman who had him fixed.

The stroppy little Jack Russell terrier will never ever forgive her for putting paid to his dreams of a family that traces its pedigree back to Caesar. When Reggie ("the Regulator") borrows her partner's new mobility scooter, she and Sparky are transported way back to Britain in 61AD, and the little dog finally gets his chance to get even by leaving her stranded in the past. But the past brings her adventures and transformation into a lusty teenager. Now that it's just him and "the Chief" left living in modern times, Sparky is going to enjoy breaking all Reggie's piddling, small-minded rules. But things don't go exactly as planned. Following "the Regulator's" disappearance, her partner, Ennis, ("the Chief") is being set up as the prime suspect in her alleged murder. With no option left, Sparky takes the Chief back to where he marooned Reggie. The unexpected bonus for them - as it was for Reggie - is the return of Sparky's manhood and the Chief's youth, though this is almost cancelled out when they land in the middle of a war between Roman forces and rebel queen, Boadicea. All hell then breaks loose Unique, funny and quite, quite mad, Yelp is an exuberant tale of boisterous teenage rebels and a smart, bratty dog with a personality all his own--close to reality but deeply rooted in the secret world of our imaginations.
