Svůj kouzelný polopohádkový svět oživil Eric Thompson celou galérií postav a postaviček, které rozehrál v barvité škále příběhů stylizovaných přesně v duchu typického anglického suchého humoru. Hlavním hrdinou je pes Richard, jehož slovní potyčky s hlemýžděm Ferdinandem a neustálévzájemné výměny ironických poznámek nezapřou opravdové kamarádství. Z dalších postaviček jmenujme ještě velkou parádnici kravičku Gertrudu, majitele kolotoče pana Mopa, květináře pana Hopa, holčičku Alenku i notorického spáče ušáka Filipa a kouzelného panáčka Jonáše. Ti všichni tvoří nerozlučné bratrstvo a společně podnikají výpravy za nejrůznějšími dobrodružstvími, výpravy plné hravosti a bohaté na komické situace.
