Reviews:
Michael Morpurgo – ‘It’s a dog world out there in Gill Lewis’ accomplished storytelling. Not sure I’ll ever look at a dog again the same way. Unforgettable.’

Lauren St John – ‘A masterpiece of animal writing. Lewis’s deep love and understanding of dogs shows on every page, and she does for Pup what Anna Sewell did for horses in Black Beauty. A wise, brave book, steeped in kindness.’

Nizrana Farook – ‘A story of love, survival, loyalty and lifelong bonds. It tugged at my heart and made me sob, it made me yearn with Pup for the love he so desperately sought… It’s a book that everybody should read – it’s man’s best friend in a whole new light.’
