Description
One morning, a man knocked on the door to sell something Mr Hindbottom did not need. Mr Hindbottom waved his cane, blew his nose, and slammed the door.
'And take your dirty, scruffy dog with you!' he yelled.
But the dog did not belong to the salesman, and the dog stayed.
When Dog turns up one day and stays - despite Mr Hindbottom's protests - they gradually find a comfortable way to get along. Life is good, but of course life doesn't stand still ...
When Mr Hindbottom is gone, can Dog ever love again?
A classic in the making, with echoes of beloved children's tales like Old Pig and John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat.

Her professional background is in environmental education, working as a National Parks ranger. She now spends her days drawing, painting and sewing from her tiny garden studio, surrounded by macadamia nut farms and cow paddocks, on the far north coast of New South Wales, Australia.
