**'A little gem of a book' Brendan O'Connor
**
'Quietly devastating ... A touching testament to the relationship
between one man and his dog' Business Post
Tom Inglis and his Wheaten terrier Pepe have lived together for eighteen
years: countless days of walks and play and the odd bit of chaos. Now,
though, they are both getting old.
To Love a Dog tells the story of Tom's life with Pepe, and looks at
the ancient connection between humans and dogs. It explores why we take
on the hassle of caring for these pet animals who rely on us so
completely, who can create mess and upset in our lives, and who will
probably die before us, leaving us behind to grieve.
This is a book for everyone who has ever loved a dog.
