Description
‘A little gem of a book’ Brendan O’Connor
‘Quietly devastating … A touching testament to the relationship between one man and his dog’ Business Post
Tom Inglis and his Wheaten terrier Pepe have lived together for eighteen years: countless days of walks and play and the odd bit of chaos. Now, though, they are both getting old.
To Love a Dog tells the story of Tom’s life with Pepe, and looks at the ancient connection between humans and dogs. It explores why we take on the hassle of caring for these pet animals who rely on us so completely, who can create mess and upset in our lives, and who will probably die before us, leaving us behind to grieve.
This is a book for everyone who has ever loved a dog.
