It’s a scorching summer day, and Hugo the dog is home alone—with no water in sight. With no time to waste, he sets off on a solo mission to quench his thirst.

From rubber gloves and a stubborn kitchen tap to a silent garden hose, every plan goes hilariously wrong. Just as Hugo is about to make a questionable choice, help finally arrives!

Told in lively rhyming verse, Hugo's Thirsty Day is a warm and funny celebration of resilience, resourcefulness, and the deep bond between pets and their people. The vibrant, playful, character-driven illustrations capture every comic twist of Hugo’s thirsty adventure.
