Join Rusty, the terrier, as he goes about his day with his family. Discover how Rusty sees and mostly smells the world around him. Rusty uses his amazing nose to recognise his friends – human and dog! – it tells him where to find something tasty to eat and how to get back to his owner.
Find out how Rusty’s family make him feel loved and safe, when he meets new people and other dogs, or is left at home alone.
After a day with Rusty, you’ll know exactly how to be your dog’s best friend.
This is a fabulous, funny, really intelligent book. The choice to write it from Rusty's point of view is unusual but it works so well, because Dr John can use it to point out things that we never think of. For instance, although I knew that dogs don't like to be alone, I thought like a lot of people that they'd be happy with another dog. I never knew it was specifically humans they miss!
The illustrations are brilliant, cartoony but still realistic enough to make sense, clear enough to know what they're referencing but stil howlingly funny. They really add so much to the book and I think a lot of people will pick it up just to see the illustrations.
Overall, a really funny, clever book. I can't wait to read Volume Two, Cats: Understanding Your New Owner And Master Of All They Survey. No? Well, no one ever said I was good at titles...
Dogs publishes on the 7th October, 2021. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
