Praise for the Book

"… a dramatic and moving story of companionship and love, told with compassion for the animal at its centre and presented in images that will remain with the reader long after the book is closed…" – Stephanie Owen Reeder, The Canberra Times.

"Like Queenie, this too has the feeling of a meticulous yet lovingly researched story" – Hilary Adams, Bookseller and Publisher.

"It is this relationship between master and dog that captures the Australian spirit and makes the book small in length, but huge in heart…" – Sarah Warne, Weekly Times.
