Dog

By Daniel Pennac

Follow the adventures of a scruffy little stray known only as Dog in this funny and touching tale by celebrated French writer Daniel Pennac, translated by award-winning translator Sarah Ardizzone.

Nearly drowned at birth, left for dead on a rubbish tip and hounded by dog-catchers – Dog's puppyhood is tough. All alone in the world, he decides to find himself an owner, someone he can train and love. Eventually he meets Plum, possibly the mistress of his dreams – but human beings can be fickle, unpredictable creatures and Dog must undergo many more adventures before he finds his happy ending in this funny, touching and wise tale.
