Hellooo! My name is Baileydog. I'm not just a dog... I am a Weimaraner - which means I am almost hooman!! This book is my true life story. It captures the humour, joy and poignancy of sharing your life with such a sentient animal like myself, a journey that is both hilarious and deeply moving. It's about the bond that builds without you even noticing, until one day it means absolutely everything. If you have ever loved a pet, you will see yourself - and them - within these pages. My book will make you laugh out loud while also bringing tears to your eyes. Because while loving a pet can transform your life, saying goodbye to them can change it forever. It also captures what it truly means to love and be loved by a pet. The Book of Baileydog is the perfect read for anyone who has ever loved, owned or lost a four legged family member - and for those who appreciate stories that remind us to live fully, enjoy the moment and cherish every day.
