Yappa-yappa-hey-yay-yay!

Steve and Tiny look after each other, so when Steve needs to get away for a while, Tiny goes too. The trusty old van becomes their new home as they drive across Australia, through wide red deserts, past glittering blue oceans. But Tiny has a job to do. Steve needs new friends - friends to get him out from behind his camera, friends to make him smile again. And if there's one thing Tiny is good at, it's making friends!

Steve Otton's glorious photographs tell this heart-warming tale about loyalty, adventure, and a very special kind of love.

About the Author

Steve Otton lives at Brooms Head in Northern NSW and divides his time between photography and making furniture from recycled timber. But his dogs like it best when he's walking with them on the beach.

Jen Castles is a writer, editor and actor who lives in Brunswick in Melbourne. She doesn't have a dog right now, but her little kids are always 'borrowing' other people's dogs, so she's going to have to get one soon. She'd love to find a dog just like Tiny.
