The Bad Dog's Diary: A Year in the Life of Blake: Lover... Fighter... Dog

by Martin Howard (Author)

Synopsis

Blake is a loveable mongrel just trying to lead a happy life; he loves his owner, fiercely defends his territory against interlopers (including the owner's new lady friend and her cat), does his best to avoid the frequently threatened neutering and spends a lot of his time either scooting across the carpet or chasing local tail. It really is a dog's life, and Blake has kindly taken the time to keep a diary of a year in his own life - providing a hilarious, unputdownable glimpse into the mind and world of your average mutt. Adorably illustrated throughout in Blake's own hand, this book has all the wit and addictive pace of the diaries of Adrian Mole and Bridget Jones and will delight a wide range of readers and dog lovers, including fans of the successful Marley and Me and Copper by Annabel Goldsmith.
