I loved reading this book. It allowed me to enter an emotional, funny, thought provoking and honest story, which I would recommend to anyone. This book took me back to childhood days of reading ‘Born to Run’ by Michael Morpurgo, and has transported me to yet another adventure. I think this story could appeal to anyone, as it just reinstates the humanity within all of us.

A beautiful coming-of-age tale of a young man who finds genuine purpose in the most unlikely of places, DOG is both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly devastating. Full of fantastic characters that wouldn't be out of place in a Shane Meadows movie, Rob Perry brings to life a corner of British life rarely covered in fiction. Funny, heartbreaking, lyrical and exciting, DOG will be your new best friend.

Really funny - author has a great sense of humour - but also moving and tender. A journey of self discovery and friendship. Very much enjoyed.

Absolutely loved DOG! This book has you stuck between wanting to read more and wanting to go give your furry friend the biggest hug. There are genuine laugh out loud moments and the story is beautifully told. When is the sequel?

I adored Dog! What a wonderful read. Heartwarming, quirky and very human! If you’re a fan of Fredrik Bachman’s books, you’ll more than likely love Dog. Dog follows 18 year old Benjamin who goes on a trip to see a dead whale, and inadvertently ends up taking home a dog (or rather the dog follows him) called Gary. The problem is, is poor Benjamin is a germophobic, lives in a caravan (not the best place for a dog) and his nan is in the hospital. He’s very green, not particularly wise to the ways of the world and so he instantly trusts a stranger when he is informed that the dog’s owners are not good people. An adventure of sorts begins, as Benjamin does what he can with the “help” of Leonard (the stranger) to protect Gary at all costs. Undoubtedly there are a few sad, heartbreaking moments but overall this is a book about love, tenderness and friendship. It’s such a delight of a book and I loved the quirky characters within. I’m so pleased I read this.
