Best-selling author Megan Rix's latest book The Hero Pup A best friend for Christmas is a perfect gift for all pet-loving nine year olds and over.
Joe and his father had always wanted a dog but after the death of his dad can Joe find happiness training Patch, a loveable Labrador puppy. Joe meets Patch at Helper Dogs and needs to train him to make him a useful companion for someone in need. Joe is determined to train him - but can Patch also help him overcome the grief of losing his father?
I tried reading this story to Pippa, aged six but she did not get on well with it and similarly Toby, aged ten, was not totally engaged. However, their animal-loving female cousins were delighted with the subject matter and thrilled to be amongst the first to read it.
The Hero Pup by Megan Rix makes a lovely gift for any animal crazy book worm.
