"Such a beautiful book, a memoir written from a dog's point of view. It's beautiful, sad, emotional, and heartstring-tugging. A story that will make you well up - but also weep with joy later. Magical."

Julie Haigh, Amazon Reviewer.

"Kat the Dog is a perfect meld of imagination and memoir. It relates the story of a young dog's journey from sad neglect to happiness in an uplifting tale of rescue and love. Alyson Sheldrake has written a delightful, warm-hearted, gentle book that will touch any reader's heart, but especially those who love dogs."
