A harsh tale of survival that will melt your heart
Born in an unused shed 'The Autobiography of a stray' is the story of 'Squirrel', born one of two surviving puppies to a stray dog who arrives at the shed seeking shelter to give birth to her litter.

Separated early on from first her mother then her brother, Squirrel's tale, told in her own words is compelling and great reading. Never staying anywhere long, living mainly on the outskirts of small towns, coming into contact with humans both kind and cruel, taking what shelter she can from the elements and surviving on scraps and small mammals, Squirrels story is both heartbreaking and lovely at the same time.

The book is aimed at 9-12 year olds but would be loved by anybody. Beautifully written, it's a harsh tale of survival that will melt your heart.

A Brilliant Read!
"A Dog's Life" is an absolutely BRILLIANT book. A must for ALL dog lovers and in particular those who favour rescue dogs. I couldn't put it down. I am sure it is the way my own rescue dog "Paddy" would write about his days as a stray, if he was able to do so.
I lent the book to a colleague at the office and she loved it too.

Review is about condition of book rather than content
Purchased new from amazon - this
My partner is delighted with book but I was not pleased with the condition of this brand new hardback item.
Remains of a sticker on the front and plenty of marks on cover - looks like it came from a charity shop 2nd hand.
No time to return it as it was a gift but I expect better from amazon than this.
