A life-affirming story of the extraordinary friendship between a boy and his dog. Perfect for fans of Hannah Gold, Katya Balen and Patrick Ness

THE STORY OF AN EXTRAORDINARY FRIENDSHIP.

'Incredibly moving, tender and heartfelt' Hannah Gold

'A heart-melting book that shows us there's always hope and love to be found even in the midst of grief' Nizrana Farook

Ten-year-old Rhys really loves dogs. When he finds a lost black Labrador with big conker eyes and ears like soft velvet, he can't quite believe his luck. Nobody comes forward to claim Worthington, giving Rhys the perfect opportunity to prove he's a good owner. But when Rhys moves to London to live with his estranged dad who hates dogs, Rhys decides to keep Worthington secret.

Struggling to connect with his dad in a new city, Rhys takes comfort in Worthington. But he soon discovers that looking after a secret dog is anything but easy, and he knows that before long he'll have to confront his fears and find a way to tell Dad...

Phenomenally moving and beautifully written, My Dog shows us that accepting the present doesn't mean forgetting the past - in a story that will live with you for ever.

Rhys's journey of self-reliance and self-esteem, as he navigates through the social dynamics of a new city, is a testament to the resilience of children. His bond with Worthington, the black Labrador, is a heartwarming tale of friendship that will resonate with juvenile readers and animal lovers alike.

For fans of Peter Brown (The Wild Robot), and David Almond (Island).
