Lucky Dog (Paperback)
by Mark Barrowcliffe

is the book about Reg, the dog who talks to his dim witted gambler owner who claims to be honest but manages some very dishonest activity during the course of the novel.

Reg is by far the most interesting character in the book, for my money (but then I didn't buy it; it was loaned to me).

I will say that other people found this book very funny and highly recommended it.
