Description
Description
Letters from a longed-for pet provide comfort and entertainment for a lonely boy in a heartfelt and gently humorous tale from bestselling author Piers Torday. Jamie is in hospital waiting for a life-changing operation. And to make a difficult time even harder, he's fallen out with his dad and refuses to speak to him when he comes to visit. To keep his spirits up, nurse Shirley suggests he writes a letter to the dog he desperately wants to adopt from the local dogs' home. But imagine his surprise when Dog writes back! Particularly suitable for readers aged 9+ with a reading age of 8.

"A doggy delight: adorable, heart-warming and very funny indeed." -- Abi Elphinstone
"I loved this - a paw-fect blend of furry, heartfelt magic!" -- Ross Welford
"A touching story brimming with humour and heart." -- Lisa Thompson
"A gorgeous story about the bravery of one young boy and the power of one mighty dog. Filled with humour and heart, this is a perfect tale (tail?) about how the smallest things can mean the most. And how you should never play monopoly with a hamster." -- Katya Balen
