This book is essentially a family saga; a humorous story about an average family, living in an average house in an average city but it is told from the perspective of an above average dog.
It is often said that, given time, almost every situation in life has a funny side and this book highlights many such incidents. Most readers will relate to the trials and tribulations of family life and may well recognise themselves or members of their own family in many of the characters. From a matriarchal and demanding Grandma to a ‘grunting’ teenage boy; from a self-important pack leading boxer to a mild mannered pug with aspirations to be a ‘dangerous dog’ and everything in-between.
All of this is told from the point of view of Loca the Pug who found fame through her YouTube video, ‘The pug that couldn’t run’.
The stories are true, if sometimes embellished by the Author’s flights of fancy and although her understanding of the past may, on occasion, be questionable, she is fond of telling us history is in the hands or paws of he or she who writes it!
Here is a note from the Author herself:-
Ok, so let’s clear up any misconceptions before we start. Yes I am a dog but I’m not just an ordinary dog. I’ll have you know, I am famous and therefore I am well overdue an autobiography as I turned five last month.
Even though I can’t run, I can talk, I can sing and obviously I can write. This, my first book, covers the often hilarious, occasionally poignant but always eventful first two years of my life and ends at the breath taking cliff hanger of my new found celebrityness.
If that’s not enough to make you want to read it check out some of my reviews so far.
“A fantastic book which would make a great movie. The part of the Dad should be played by Brad Pitt”……. Malcolm, my Dad.
“Totally loved it. This book should sell millions” …… A. Mazon, my publisher.
“A load of shite!” ….. Taz, the fat furball of a cat that lives next door.
“A true classic showing a poetic word craft equalling, if not surpassing Shakespeare.” …..
Some book critic who we think may have been reading a different book.
“If you print that I’ll fecking sue.” …… Reaper, but you’ll have to read it to see why.
