My Secret Dog cover

A sweet tale about a girl who 'accidentally' adopts a dog and tries to keep it a secret from her mother

The delightful story of a young girl inviting a dog into her home to stay as her secret houseguest. Although her mother has said they don't have room to keep a dog, the girl hatches a daring plan to make sure that nobody finds out... only to discover that dogs, like secrets, are much harder to keep under wraps than she suspected!

I always wanted a dog, but Mum said I wasn't allowed.
So I got one anyway.
My secret dog lives in the cupboard and we sneak out at night to play.
We'll be best friends forever.
As long as Mum doesn't find out...

Beautifully understated and full of whimsy, My Secret Dog depicts a child's sense of slowly discovering that getting what they want is not as straight forward as it might first appear. It also made my son giggle through his bedtime story. -- Richy K. Chandler, writer, illustrator and creator of the weekly webcomic Lucy the Octopus, Fairytale Manga Rosie and Jacinda and the Tempo Lush Tales contemporary comics anthologies.
