The Secret Life of Dogs With a Dog Walker

By Beverly Isla

The Secret Life of Dogs With a Dog Walker demonstrates the real personalities behind dogs and why they deserve so much love and appreciation. This book aims to help readers feel good and get to understand that there's more to canines than meets the eye; especially rescue dogs. 

A heart-warming story about canine companions with their 'walking' group and the rich inner lives our fur babies lead.

Told from the perspective of the dogs themselves, The Secret Life of Dogs with a Dog Walker follows Kutty, Otis, Deacon, Carlie, Savannah, Maude, Eunice and their walker. They explore the dog parks of Toronto, bond with other rescue dogs Zelda, Reagan and Sabrina to find friendship, love and adventure.

This charming and witty story offers a glimpse into the minds of canines. What would they say if they had the chance? What might they talk about with each other, and with us? Perhaps their thoughts aren't much different from ours. 

If you like stories with a healthy dose of dog humor along with themes of teamwork, friendship, and unconditional love and loyalty, add The Secret Life of Dogs to your must-reads and cuddle up with your furry friend for an entertaining and uplifting read.

Why you!

Nicholas grabbed one more nugget, turned tail, and ran off in the other direction with a loud meow. The blue heeler canine chased after him.

Gimme some food! Kutty barked after the cat as they ran around the house. There was no way he was going to give up this time. He’d been trying to get at the feline’s food just to taste it.

But Kutty wouldn’t give the fuzzball the chance this time around. This was war, and he couldn’t let that thing win. In the name of dogs everywhere.
