Our Very Own Dog

Author: Amanda McCardie
Illustrator: Salvatore Rubbino

A child describes life with Sophie, the friendly dog who joined her family when the girl was four. The main text and the water colour illustrations demonstrate the daily joys of dog and human companionship. The pictures show many aspects of dog behaviour – a double page scene in a park displays this particularly well with many kinds of dog romping around, as do the endpapers where a number of breeds are depicted. Additional text in a different font and an instructive tone gives important information about how to look after a dog.
