My Dog Doesn't Like Me

A heart-warming new book from the author of Matty Forever. Eric was given a dog for this eighth birthday - that was nearly a year ago. The dog, named Ugly (because he is just that), settles into Eric's family but is not attached to Eric in any way.

My Dog Doesn't Like Me. It's a fact. When I got back from running away, I explained this to my family.

Eric is very disappointed in the dog he got for his eighth birthday. He thought the dog, named Ugly (because he is just that), was going to be his 'best friend'. But Ugly doesn't even consider Eric his first-or second-best friend. Ugly loves Eric's mum, grandad, dad, and his horrible sister Gretchen even more than him.

Desperate to make Ugly love him the most, Eric puts some crazy plans into action to win over his pooch. Will Eric uncover the secret to Ugly's heart, or will he forever have to watch his dog dote on every other family member except him?

One of our most-loved and prolific authors has written a beautifully told story that will resonate with pet lovers of all ages.
