A phenomenally moving animal adventure about acceptance, friendship and dogs!

Rhys is starting secondary school and everything is different. But when his puppy Whirly vanishes from the garden, it’s all Rhys can think about. As he searches for Whirly, Rhys glimpses a familiar big, black Labrador in the shadows – his old friend, Worthington.

Comforted by Worthington, Rhys slips back into old habits, keeping secrets from those he’s closest to. Then other neighbourhood dogs go missing. Rhys realises Whirly is in more danger than he thought, and time is running out to save him. With Worthington by his side, can Rhys learn to trust his friends to find Whirly, and bring him home?

Praise for My Dog:
‘An incredibly moving, tender and heartfelt story. Beautifully and sensitively told, My Dog is a stunning debut novel by a very talented author’ Hannah Gold, author of The Last Bear
‘This is a book about a boy and a dog, but it’s about so much more. A heart-melting book that shows us there’s always hope and love to be found even in the midst of grief’ Nizrana Farook, author of The Girl Who Stole an Elephant
‘A lyrical, magical adventure … At its heart this is not so much a book about grief as a testament to the perennial power of a child’s imagination’ Daily Telegraph
‘A gorgeous, heart-wrenching story of love, loss and healing. This stunning tale of a remarkable boy and his dog will break your heart, then piece it back together again’ Aisling Fowler, author of Fireborn
‘This beautifully written debut is both heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure, giving us a sensitive and nuanced portrait of a young boy coping with grief’ LoveReading4Kids, Debut Book of the Month
My Dog is a warm and very readable treatment of a difficult subject. Full of tenderness and understanding, it’s perfect for dog lovers and non-dog lovers alike’ Adam Baron, author of Boy Underwater
‘If ever there is a story to encourage empathy in readers, this is it. Beautifully written, with stunning inside illustrations by David Litchfield, this is an ode to pets and their unconditional love, but also to extended family … This would be a good class reader as it could start lots of valuable conversations’ BookTrust
‘An achingly beautiful story of friendship, hope and love. Heartbreaking, tender and joyful, this is a stunning debut from an exciting new voice’ Simon James Green, author of Finn Jones Was Here
