I Am a Dog

I Am a Dog Synopsis

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a dog? What might be going on inside their heads? How they might be feeling in all the different ways they live on our planet?

Well, this book is for you! It's written by an imaginary mongrel dog who is trying to explain what it's really like to be him. He describes his own experiences throughout his life and the thoughts he has had about them.

Even if you think you know all about dogs and have one (or several!) of your own, some things may still surprise you. Did you know that a dog looking guilty is not saying sorry? Or how dogs find out about each other?

How might the size and shape of a dog affect their view of the world and things around them? To help you on your journey through the doggy world, our narrator asks some of his relatives and friends, big and small, to each give a little of their side of the story. What might a police dog or a dog belonging to a homeless person think about their lives?

And finally, what is the difference between rehoming and rescuing a dog? This middling-sized dog does not have all the answers, and he asks you to think carefully about some of the questions he still has. He would be most gratified if you would help him and other dogs to be better understood by spreading the word to all your friends!
