He had always wanted one ever since he was little… He might not be the one he would have picked himself. He has some strange habits, eats weird food and disappears for hours of the day. But he is perfect really, in his own way.

This beautifully illustrated tale tells the story of a dog and his boy, charting their friendhsip in charming rhyming couplets as they navigate the world together.

Written and illustrated by the wonderfully talented Olivier Tallec, this is book would make the perfect story for a child with a furry best friend.
